Aquaforest KH Buffer

R540,00

An agent for maintaining constant carbonate hardness levels in reef aquariums. An accurate level of carbonate hardness is essential for stabilizing pH levels. A sudden drop of carbonate concentrations in the tank may entirely stop the nitrification process. Recommended level of KH in reef aquaria is 6,5-8,5 dKH.

Description

Aquaforest KH Buffer

Maintain Stable Carbonate Hardness for Healthy Reef Aquariums 🪸💧

Stable carbonate hardness (KH) is a cornerstone of a thriving reef aquarium. Aquaforest KH Buffer is a professional-grade solution designed to maintain consistent KH levels, stabilizing pH and supporting the overall health of corals, invertebrates, and other sensitive marine life. Proper carbonate hardness is essential for optimal coral calcification, efficient nitrification, and overall chemical balance in reef systems.


🌿 Why You’ll Love Aquaforest KH Buffer

  • ⚖️ Stabilizes Carbonate Hardness (KH) – Maintains levels in the recommended range of 6.5–8.5 dKH, preventing sudden drops that can disrupt biological processes.

  • 🪸 Supports Coral Health & Growth – Stable KH ensures corals have the minerals necessary for skeletal formation and vibrant coloration.

  • 💧 Quick-Dissolving Formula – Easy to prepare and dose, with accurate control over the KH increase.

  • 🔬 Maintains Overall Water Chemistry – Supports pH stability, crucial for nitrification and balanced reef ecosystems.

  • 🌊 Flexible Application – Can be used as a daily supplement for gradual adjustment or a one-time boost for immediate correction.


⚗️ How It Works

Carbonate hardness acts as a buffer for pH levels in marine aquariums. Sudden drops in KH can halt nitrification, stress corals, and negatively impact invertebrates. Aquaforest KH Buffer provides a precise and controlled way to raise and maintain KH, ensuring your reef water remains chemically stable.

By carefully dosing according to aquarium test results, hobbyists can maintain a healthy and balanced environment, allowing corals to calcify efficiently and fish to thrive. KH stability is also critical for preventing pH swings that can affect filtration, beneficial bacteria, and overall aquarium health.


💧 Dosage & Preparation

  • Stock Solution: Dissolve 80 g of KH Buffer in 1000 ml of RODI water.

  • Application: Use your water test results and the daily consumption of corals to determine the exact dosage.

  • Effectiveness:

    • 100 ml of KH Buffer solution increases KH by 2.6 dKH in 100 L (27 US gal) of water.

    • For casual or one-time use, 10 g of KH Buffer per 100 L raises KH by approximately 3.3 dKH (Alk. 1.18 meq/L).

  • Safety: Do not increase KH by more than 0.5 dKH per day to avoid stressing the aquarium inhabitants.


🧪 Tips for Best Results

  • Always test your water parameters before adding KH Buffer to ensure accurate adjustments.

  • For ongoing maintenance, gradually dose KH Buffer stock solution based on daily coral consumption.

  • Monitor pH and alkalinity regularly to maintain chemical balance.

  • Compatible with other reef supplements such as calcium, magnesium, and trace elements to achieve optimal coral growth.


🪸 Aquascaping & Reef Benefits

Consistent KH levels help corals grow strong skeletons and retain natural coloration, making them more vibrant in your display tank. Aquascapers benefit from stable water conditions, as KH fluctuations can impact plant growth, algae control, and overall aesthetics. By maintaining proper KH, you ensure a visually stunning reef environment that thrives over the long term.
