Alkalinity is of extreme importance in a marine aquarium, owing to the manner in which it influences pH. In an aquarium, weak acids formed by oxygen respiration and the decomposition of organic material gradually deplete alkalinity. If left unchecked, the alkalinity drops below a critical level and pH begins to fluctuate more wildly than is normally suggested (a daily pH shift of +/-0.2 is normal in marine aquaria), causing stress to livestock. Alkalinity is also depleted by reef-building organisms during the production of aragonite, and is therefore very important for their rapid growth. Maintaining the alkalinity in marine aquaria between 7 - 12 dKH (2.5 - 4.3 meq/L) will generally maintain pH within the desired range. The rate at which alkalinity is depleted in a reef aquarium is determined by the stocking density of reef-building livestock, type of lighting, rate of water circulation, and other biological, physical, and chemical conditions; therefore, each aquarium will have different requirements for the rate of alkalinity supplementation. Once the rate of alkalinity depletion in the aquarium has been determined, the proper dosing rate of this product can be easily calculated. It is recommended that a quality salt mix with the proper (not augmented) alkalinity and concentrations of major, minor, and trace elements be used to establish natural seawater parameters in the reef aquarium, providing a stable ionic foundation on which to build.

Because we are a major distributor for some products, we price very aggressively by sacrificing profit margin whenever we sell in bulk. The philosophy to offer quality products with little mark up has created unmatched customer loyalty for some successful membership based stores. Unlike those wholesale to public membership clubs, we do not charge any membership fee. Some merchants offer FREE shipping, but when you buy quantity 10, you pay 10 times total. Essentially, you are paying 10 times on shipping. We don't think that is fair to you. Why? Most of the time, shipping a 10 lb parcel does not cost 10 times of a 1 lb parcel.

Here is an example:

Don't be shy. If you discover any competitor outselling us in a particular product, whenever you purchase in large quantity, please bring it to our attention. Most of the time, we will match or beat their price, and give you a credit. If we lose to a competitor, it is our shame. We then know we need to work harder in sourcing to create values for you.

* Price comparison must be based on comparable brands or models and in bulk quantity purchase.

Product Description

Highly-effective alkalinity(KH)-increasing (・buffer・) solution
Helps increase pH stability in an aquarium by raising the alkalinity
Provides a source of carbonates, which make up the majority by
weight of aragonite, the mineral secreted by reef-building organisms
as skeletal material
Continued addition raises pH until 8.3 is reached, at which point
the pH remains unchanged and the alkalinity alone increases
Over 50% stronger than most competing products
Free of phosphate, silicate, and organic material
Formulated by a marine scientist
