Aquaforest Kh Plus 250ml

Aquaforest Kh Plus 250ml

Aquaforest Kh Plus 250ml is a concentrated liquid alkalinity supplement for marine aquariums. It raises your tank's dKH without changing the concentration of other elements, so it suits reef keepers who want to adjust alkalinity on its own while supporting coral growth and calcification.

Key Benefits

• Concentrated liquid formula that raises dKH without increasing the concentration of any other element
• Supports coral growth and calcification, which depend on adequate alkalinity
• Works for small tanks that need only modest alkalinity additions
• Also works for larger systems that need big alkalinity swings without shifting other parameters
• Dosed by volume, so you can scale the amount to your system and adjust it after testing

Why Alkalinity Matters
Alkalinity is an essential part of calcification. Coral skeletons need ample calcium and alkalinity in the water, which corals absorb and convert into a calcium carbonate structure. When alkalinity runs low, that process is limited. A dedicated alkalinity solution lets you correct it independently of calcium and the other parameters in your reef.

How to Use

• Start with the suggested daily dose (see Dosage below).
• Test your aquarium's alkalinity level after each dose.
• Adjust the dose as needed for your system's requirements.
• Add the solution slowly to a high-flow area of the tank, which helps reduce any precipitation.

Dosage

• 2 tsp of solution raises the alkalinity of 27 gallons of water by 0.5 dKH.
• Suggested starting dose: 5 mL per 27 gallons of aquarium water, daily.
• Always test after dosing and fine-tune to suit your tank.
