Seachem Aquavitro Balance
A frequent occurence in reef systems is low pH, while calcium and alkalinity are at optimal levels. Raise one and the others may fall. One of the primary reasons for this is an improper carbonate/bicarbonate ratio. The buffer ratio changes as a natural consequence of the buffer’s ability to counteract acidifying sources such as organic acids (produced naturally from waste) or introduced from non-pH controlled husbandry products. In this case, adding more buffer would unnecessarily result in a rise in alkalinity and a drop in calcium. The first product of its kind, balance™ ends this see-saw effect. It resets this ratio by converting bicarbonate into carbonate in order to reassert a higher pH without affecting calcium level.
balance™ is an optimized blend of sodium and potassium hydroxides with a NSW ratio (27:1) of sodium to potassium to avoid ionic imbalance with long term use.
Note: each inner cap thread is approximately 2 mL. One full cap is 49 mL.
Add balance™ in small increments, and check pH after at least 3 minutes before adding additional increments.
balance™ can be used daily and within minutes of calcification™, eight.four™, and ions™.
Use Seachem’s MultiTest™: Marine pH & Alkalinity kit to check pH.
