Reef Zlements – KH BUFFER 2500ML

Alkalinity is a crucial parameter in the chemistry of water, particularly in aquatic systems such as coral reefs and aquariums. The most rigorous definitions of alkalinity are necessarily based on acid–base equilibria and represent the capacity of water to resist changes in pH by neutralising acids.

Alkalinity levels in the reefs and oceans around the world are significantly different from values that our aquariums are often kept at, with the minimum being around 5.79 dKH and the maximum of 7 dKH and if salinity is normalised to 35ppt alkalinity ranges from 6.415 and 6.44 dKH.

Dosing:
For multiple reasons including the above we recommend keeping alkalinity between 6.8 and 7 dKH.

10 mL of Reef Zlements KH Buffer increases alkalinity of 100 litres by 1dKH.
