aquaVitro Eight Four

Many competitive buffers for reef aquariums are just sodium bicarbonate. Such buffers have a pK of only 8.0 in salt water and are simply unable to maintain a pH above 8.0. The low buffering pK is a function of the low carbonate / bicarbonate ratio.

eight.four ™ provides a well-balanced (carbonate / bicarbonate) buffer system that delivers a leading pK of 8.6, making pH maintenance of 8.3-8.5 easy. A higher pK increases the capacity of the buffer to prevent inevitable acid sources in the water. eight.four ™ will safely raise the pH of the sea while adjusting the alkalinity. eight.four ™ contains a concentrated, balanced mix of bicarbonate and carbonate salts designed to restore disrupted buffer systems and increase carbonate alkalinity.

If an alkalinity of 6 meq / L has been reached and a pH of at least 8.20 has been reached, the system may be ionically unbalanced. Check magnesium levels. If magnesium is low, use ions ™. However, if the magnesium levels are within the optimum range, the buffer ratio is probably disturbed (the buffer ratio changes as a natural consequence of the buffer's ability to combat acidifying sources such as organic acids). You can raise the pH without increasing the alkalinity with Balance ™.

Unlike competing products that require multiple-day interval dosing in combination with carbonate supplements, eight.four ™ can be administered daily and within minutes of our calcification ™, as well as in the balance ™ and ions ™.
