Aquavitro Balance 350ml (SC-7511)

Aquavitro Balance 350ml (SC-7511)

Aquavitro Balance adjusts and balances the carbonate buffer system ratio by raising pH without affecting calcium and alkalinity. It is made from a hydroxide blend that is safe for aquarium use.

Advantages

A frequent occurrence in reef systems is low pH, while calcium and alkalinity are at optimal levels. Raise one and the others may fall. One of the primary reasons for this is an improper carbonate/bicarbonate ratio. The buffer ratio changes as a natural consequence of the buffer's ability to counteract acidifying sources such as organic acids (produced naturally from waste) or introduced from non-pH controlled husbandry products. In this case, adding more buffer would unnecessarily result in a rise in alkalinity and a drop in calcium. The first product of its kind, Aquavitro Balance ends this see-saw effect. It resets this ratio by converting bicarbonate into carbonate in order to reassert a higher pH without affecting calcium level.

Aquavitro Balance is an optimised blend of sodium and potassium hydroxides with a NSW ratio (27:1) of sodium to potassium to avoid ionic imbalance with long term use.

Aquavitro offers other solutions designed to address the unique challenge of raising pH in a reef environment. ions addresses the problem of low magnesium which is a cause of low buffering pK and pH. eight.four addresses deficiencies in pK found in competing products by providing a properly balanced (carbonate/bicarbonate) buffer system.

Directions

Aquavitro Balance is intended to be used to raise pH when all other parameters (alkalinity, calcium, magnesium) are at optimal levels, but pH is still low. The amount of Aquavitro Balance needed to raise pH to the desired level will vary widely, depending upon the buffering capacity and quality of your tank water. For reference purposes only, 5 mL will raise 55 L (15 US gallons) of salt water by about 0.1 pH units.

Add Aquavitro Balance in small increments, and check pH after at least 3 minutes before adding additional increments.

Unlike competing products that require multi-day interval dosing. Aquavitro Balance can be used daily and within minutes of calcification, eight.four, and ions

Use Seachem's MultiTest: Marine pH and Alkalinity kit to check pH.

FAQ

How do I know if I should use Aquavitro Balance or eight.four to raise pH in my reef aquarium? Do they do the same thing?

A: No, these are actually two very different products. eight.four is a buffer that will raise both pH and KH (alkalinity) in your aquarium by adding a blend of buffering agents such as carbonates and bicarbonates to your system. Aquavitro Balance specifically targets pH only by re-establishing the proper bicarbonate/carbonate ratio by using a hydroxide blend to raise pH without having an impact on KH, calcium or magnesium levels. If your calcium, magnesium and alkalinity are all in the proper levels but pH is still low, you can use Aquavitro Balance to correct this. If calcium, magnesium and/or alkalinity is also low in addition to pH, then you may want to use eight.four in addition to other products in the Aquavitro range such as calcification or ions to address any other deficiencies.

CAUTION: Causes Burns. Keep out of reach of children. Wear suitable gloves and eye/face protection. Avoid contact with skin. Do not eat or get in eyes. In case of contact, flush area with water for 5-10 minutes. In case of eye contact, wash eyes with water immediately (5-10 minutes) and seek medical attention..
