This phosphate-free buffer raises and stabilizes pH in the alkaline range of 7.4 to 8.4. Designed for freshwater and planted aquariums. Will safely raise pH with little danger of pH shock. 300 grams treats approximately 420 gallons. Use 7 grams (1 level teaspoon) for every 10 gallons daily until desired pH is reached.
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.
