 Liquid
Alkaline Buffer™ is a non-phosphate buffer to
raise pH and alkalinity (KH) and buffer with Liquid
Acid Buffer™. Both buffers are designed for the
planted aquarium or for very hard water where phosphate
buffers may pose an algae or cloudiness problem. Liquid
Alkaline Buffer™ raises pH and buffers between
7.2 and 7.8. It is gentle, safe, and enhances the freshwater
environment.
Sizes:
250 mL, 500 mL, 2 L, 4 L, 20 L |
| |
| DIRECTIONS:
Use 1 capful (5 mL) for every 10 L (2.5 gallons*)
daily until desired pH is reached (this dose raises
alkalinity by about 0.4 meq/L (1.2 dKH)). If water
is soft or not well buffered, use with Liquid
Acid Buffer™ (see below). TIPS: Liquid Alkaline
Buffer™ will not lower pH. It may be added
directly to the aquarium at any time. It preferentially
buffers at pH 8.2, but can manage any pH between
7.2 and 8.7 when used with Liquid Acid Buffer™.
If using with RO or DI water for a water change,
then use with Liquid Acid Buffer™ at a fixed
ratio (see chart) to set the desired pH. Once
pH is set add water to aquarium as soon as possible
to avoid pH fluctuations. |
