PH Balance 225g

PH Balance 225g raises both carbonate alkalinity and pH

Introducing pH-Balance®, your go-to buffer for marine and reef aquariums. This product effectively raises both carbonate alkalinity and pH without overshooting, making it simple to maintain a pH level of 8.3.

The pH level of seawater in the open ocean tends to be stable, typically ranging from 8.0 to 8.3, thanks to the carbonate-bicarbonate buffering system. However, in tide pools and aquariums, the pH can fluctuate more significantly due to the effects of respiration and photosynthesis in these confined spaces. In an aquarium without light, it is common for the pH to temporarily drop because of CO2 respiration when photosynthesis is not occurring.

When the lights turn on, photosynthesis helps to raise the pH again. Over time, changes in water quality caused by biological activity can lead to a decline in alkalinity and lower pH values. If the alkalinity is low, the pH may struggle to reach the ideal range of 8.1 to 8.4 during the day.

To effectively raise alkalinity and pH to the desired levels, consider using pH-Balance Marine Aquarium Buffer. This will help stabilize water quality in your marine and reef aquariums.
