It is ideal for marine and reef keepers needing to restore a disrupted carbonate\/bicarbonate buffer system and maintain a stable pH of 8.3–8.5.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides a balanced carbonate and bicarbonate buffer system with a pK of 8.6.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps make marine pH maintenance between 8.3 and 8.5 easier.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafely raises pH while also adjusting carbonate alkalinity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContains a concentrated blend of bicarbonate and carbonate salts to restore depleted or disrupted buffering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigher pK helps counter acidic sources in reef water, including organic acids.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nUse 5 mL per 80 L of aquarium water daily until the pH has stabilised at the desired level. Stabilisation can take from one day to one week, depending on the original pH, alkalinity and condition of the aquarium’s buffer system. Once stable, dose as needed to maintain pH.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDosage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nEach standard 5 mL dose per 80 L raises alkalinity by 0.25 meq\/L, or 0.7 dKH. Do not exceed the recommended dose without testing pH and alkalinity. Total alkalinity should not exceed 6 meq\/L.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAquavitro Reef Eight.Four can be dosed daily and may be used within minutes of aquavitro calcification™, balance™ and ions™. If alkalinity has reached 6 meq\/L but pH remains below 8.20, check magnesium levels. Use ions™ if magnesium is low. Where magnesium is already within the optimal range, balance™ may be used to raise pH without increasing alkalinity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTesting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nMonitor pH and total alkalinity with Seachem MultiTest®: Marine pH \u0026amp; Alkalinity.

Although it is formulated to avoid rapidly pushing pH above 8.4, excessive dosing can raise KH too high and disrupt ionic balance, including calcium maintenance. Test before dosing and keep alkalinity below 6 meq\/L.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould I use Eight.Four or balance™ for low pH?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nUse Eight.Four when pH and alkalinity, calcium or magnesium also need attention. Use balance™ when calcium, magnesium and alkalinity are already correct but pH alone is low.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use this with calcification™ and ions™?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. Aquavitro Reef Eight.Four can be dosed daily and used within minutes of calcification™, balance™ and ions™.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AD","offers":[{"title":"350ml","offer_id":47082013262132,"sku":"000116750103","price":259.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1L","offer_id":47082013294900,"sku":"000116750509","price":701.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"4L","offer_id":47082013327668,"sku":"000116750400","price":2644.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0151\/9016\/3510\/products\/aquavitro-eight-four-reef-buffer-raises-pH-8-4-carbonate-alkalinity.jpg?v=1743695227","url":"https:\/\/jungleaquatics.com\/products\/aquavitro-reef-eight-four","provider":"Jungle Aquatics Pet Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
