TheReef® - Alkalinity

A concentrated liquid carbonate buffer for saltwater aquaria

Description

TheReef® Alkalinity liquid supplement contains a blend of all three carbonate, bicarbonate and borate ions that provide Natural Sea Water with it's buffering potential and which, with calcium, help corals form their skeletons and grow. This blend of chemically pure salts helps to keep pH and the ionic balance more stable than inferior products based on bicarbonate alone. TheReef® Alkalinity also provides aquarists with exceptional value for money compared to other brands, offering an unbeatable combination of performance for price.*

Guidance

First measure alkalinity levels in your aquarium with an accurate test kit to determine how much of TheReef® Alkalinity supplement you should add. We recommend maintaining alkalinity levels between 7.8-9.0 dKH. 15ml (1 capful) of supplement per 100 litres of aquarium water should raise calcium levels by around 1.5dKH.

Shake bottle before use then slowly add required quantity of supplement to an area of aquarium or sump with high flow. Monitor pH levels while dosing and do not allow to vary by more than ±0.3. Do not mix with or use within 1 hour of other supplements. Do not raise levels by more than 2.8dKH a day.
