Alkalinity Buffer - Bulk (1 LB)

Overview

• Highly-effective alkalinity-increasing (”buffer”) powdered blend.
• Helps increase pH stability in an aquarium by raising the alkalinity; continued addition raises
  pH until 8.3 is reached, at which point the pH remains unchanged and the alkalinity
  alone increases.
• Provides a source of carbonates, which make up the majority by weight of aragonite, the
  mineral secreted by reef-building organisms as skeletal material.
• Formulated by a marine scientist.
• Determine alkalinity in aquarium with an accurate test kit prior to supplementing. 
• Do not add this product directly to an aquarium without first diluting in water as directed.

Instructions and Guidelines

Basic: Dissolve 2 grams (~½ teaspoon) of product per 20 US-gallons of aquarium water in 8-fl. oz. of fresh water; add every other day or as needed to maintain the alkalinity within a range of 7 - 12 dKH. When used in this fashion, 1,000 g treats up to 10,000 US-gallons (37,854 L).

Caution: Contains carbonate and bicarbonate salts; harmful if swallowed. If swallowed: give water, get medical attention. May cause eye or skin irritation. If in eyes, flush with water for 15 minutes, get medical attention. If on skin, wash thoroughly with water. Keep out of reach of children. Not for human
consumption.
