Tropical - Marine Power Advanced KH / Alkalinity

The 500 ml container of Tropical Marine Power Advanced KH/Alkalinity is a state-of-the-art, self-preparing marine additive intended to increase the KH/Alkalinity level (bicarbonate level) in marine aquariums. Specially designed for larger tanks mainly inhabited by stony corals.

Alkalinity is one of the most important components of a healthy saltwater environment, but unlike in nature, where levels are nearly constant, home aquariums suffer from frequent fluctuations that are detrimental to the well-being of the aquarium ecosystem. In a healthy marine aquarium, the level of bicarbonate ions (HCO3-) decreases continuously. Bicarbonate ions are the main source of building material for coral skeletons, of which calcium carbonate CaCO3 is the basic component.

It is necessary for coral growth to maintain proper and consistent levels of KH (bicarbonates). The natural alkalinity level on coral reefs is about 7 dKH. In most home aquariums the KH level should be kept as constant as possible between 7 and 10 dKH.

It is not recommended to increase KH levels too high or too quickly as it can be dangerous for LPS and SPS coral species and can also negatively affect biofiltration in the aquarium. Regular water tests help to maintain consistent, accurate readings.
