Seachem Alkaline Buffer, 70 g / 2.5 oz
Alkaline buffer? is a non-phosphate buffer to raise pH and buffer with acid buffer?. These buffers are designed for the planted aquarium or for very hard water where phosphate buffers may pose an algae or cloudiness problem. Alkaline buffer? raises pH and buffers between 7.2 and 8.5. It is gentle, safe, and enhances the freshwater environment. Contains sodium, POTASSIUM, magnesium, and other bicarbonate salts. Directions: use 1 level measure (enclosed) to every 4?L (1 gallon) daily until desired pH is reached (this dose will raise alkalinity by about 0.5 meq/L (1.4 dKH). if water is soft or not well buffered, use with acid buffer? (see below). hints: Alkaline buffer? will not lower ph. It may be added directly to the aquarium at any time. It preferentially buffers at pH 7.8, but can manage any pH between 7.2 and 8.5 when used with acid buffer?. if using with ro or di water for a water change, then use with acid buffer? at a fixed ratio (see chart) to set the desired ph. Once pH is set add water change water to aquarium as soon as possible to avoid pH fluctuations (for best results, base ratio on weight): (acidbuf: acidbuf-ph) (1 : 0.5-5.0)(1 : 1.0-6.0) (1 : 1.3-6.5) (1 : 2.0-7.0) (1 : 2.5-7.5) (1 : 4.0-8.0)I70 G / 2.5 oz. (treats 2650 L (700 us gallons) Directions To increase pH, use 1 teaspoon (6 g) for every 80 L (20 US gallons) daily until desired pH is reached (this dose raises alkalinity by about 1 meq/L (2.8 dKH)). For precise dosing, use the Seachem Digital Spoon Scale. In order to adjust pH gradually, use Alkaline Buffer with Acid Buffer. When using Alkaline Buffer & Acid Buffer together to target a specific pH, utilize the suggested ratio chart. HINT: First determine the amount of Alkaline Buffer needed for the volume of water. This should be determined based upon your desired alkalinity (KH). Then, divide by the number in the middle column to obtain the correct amount of Acid Buffer required. This chart is based on use in RO or RO/DI water and ratios may need to be adjusted for use in tap water. Acid Buffer Alkaline Buffer pH 1 1.3 6.5 2.0 7.0 2.5 7.5 4.0 8.0 Water Volume Units US Gallons Liters Current KH meq/L Desired KH meq/L To reach your desired level use grams ( tspns) Considerations: 2 meq/L is equal to 5.6 dKH. If your test kit measures in dKH, divide your test kit reading by 2.8 to determine your current KH levels in meq/L. Do the same for desired KH.
