It supports slime coat and general health, and — unlike most tonic salts — also helps guard against nitrite poisoning during cycling and stocking changes. It has no effect on pH and provides no buffering, so it can be used alongside Gold Buffer without the two working against each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelps guard against nitrite poisoning\u003c\/strong\u003e — useful when cycling a tank or adding new stock.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupports slime coat and general health\u003c\/strong\u003e in goldfish and coldwater ornamentals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo effect on pH\u003c\/strong\u003e — provides no buffering, so it pairs cleanly with Gold Buffer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDissolves cleanly\u003c\/strong\u003e for straightforward dosing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrom 4c per litre treated\u003c\/strong\u003e in the 300 g pack — see the comparison below.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeachem\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGoldfish conditioning salt\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEffect on pH\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNone — no buffering\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eComposition\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot published in detail by the manufacturer; full composition available via Seachem's SDS portal (sds.seachem.com)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWater type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFreshwater — goldfish and coldwater ornamentals\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich pack size do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePack\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBarcode\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePrice\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTreats (at 18 g\/40 L)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCost per litre\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e116021401\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e$13.95\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~155 L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9c\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e300 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e116021609\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e$29.95\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~666 L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4c\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 300 g pack works out to roughly 4c per litre of treated water, against 9c per litre for the 70 g size — more than twice the value once you are topping up a tank regularly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDosage and directions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDissolve 18 g (about 1 tablespoon) in freshwater before adding — do not drop dry salt straight into an established tank.
