Seachem Replenish vs Brightwell Remineraliz - which product is better?

[llou]

Does anyone know which product would be better for replenishing physiologically relevant minerals that are removed by reverse osmosis or deionizing filtration?

The products are similar, the difference is Seac.hem has sodium chloride, whereas Brightwell has sodium metasilicate

I do not know which chemical would be more beneficial. :hmm3:


Brightwell Remineraliz - Purified water, calcium chloride, sodium metasilicate, magnesium chloride, potassium chloride.

Neither is relevant for a saltwater tank. The salt product should contain all that is needed. Topoff water can be used to dose calcium and alkalinity, for example, but otherwise, plain RO/DI is best.

Thank you for the welcome and response.

Sorry I didn't realize this was a salt-water only forum. :uhoh2: This question was for a Betta.

I was reading informative responses from Randy Holmes-Farley about Brightwell products, so I asked the question.

Oh, I see. I don't know enough about freshwater aquariums to answer the question. Sorry!
