Aquaforest Kh Buffer Dry

Aquaforest Kh Buffer Dry

Aquaforest Kh Buffer Dry is a concentrated powdered alkalinity additive that maintains and raises the dKH level in your reef aquarium without raising the concentration of other elements. It suits reef keepers who want to support coral growth and calcification, and who prefer to mix their own alkalinity solution from a dry powder.

Key Benefits

• Concentrated powder that maintains and increases dKH without raising any other element's concentration.
• Supports coral growth and calcification. Alkalinity is an essential part of both.
• Corals need ample calcium and alkalinity in the water to absorb and convert into their calcium carbonate skeletons.
• Dry alkalinity additives are very cost-effective. Mixed into a solution, they can work just as well as liquid additives, or better.

How to Use

• Add 80 g of the powder to 1000 mL of RODI water to make the solution.
• Stir vigorously, then let the solution sit for 24 hours before use.
• Add the solution slowly to a high-flow area of the tank to help reduce precipitation.
• Test your aquarium's alkalinity after each dose and adjust the dosage to suit your system.

Dosage

Start with 5 mL of the prepared solution per 27 gallons of aquarium water daily. Every system is different, so test after each dose and adjust the amount to what your tank needs.
