.Kent pro buffer dkh 16oz ph buffer coralline algae growth accelerator and alkalinity or carbonate hardness kh builder $8.09 “Description:Enhanced Pro Buffer dKH with Coralline Accelerator raises alkalinity or buffering capacity and works automatically to control pH in any marine aquarium. In addition, when used with any of our calcium additives, it encourages strong coralline algae growth. Each 16 oz. of Pro Buffer dKH will treat 1,900 gallons or 7,200 litres.Directions:Important: Read use & interaction below! Add 10 ml per 40 gallons aquarium capacity each day, in a high flow area of the aquarium, until target alkalinity is reached. Use along with any good calcium supplement to stabilize alkalinity in a reef type marine aquarium. Add in the morning to prevent overshoot of pH. (Cap on 16 oz. bottle equals 5 ml, Cap on 64 oz. and gallon equals 10 ml) Never mix with a calcium or magnesium solution, add to tank separately. Some cloudiness may be observed. This should go away rapidly.Considerations for use:A pH of 8.0 to 8.3 and an alkalinity of 2.9 to 4.0 meq/L (8 to 11 dKH) is recommended for reef type aquariums (fish only marine aquariums should maintain 3.5 to 5.5 meq/L or 10 to 14 dKH) and calcium level should be maintained between 400 and 450 ppm, using Kent Turbo Calcium, Concentrated Liquid Calcium, or Kalkwasser Mix. Test calcium & alkalinity and adjust the recommended dose for your particular system! Do not exceed 1/2 ml of this product per gallon per 12 hour period. Daily addition of calcium along with this product will yield optimum results, particularly when trying to accelerate coralline algae growth! If you have trouble maintaining calcium or buffer level, check to see that the salt mix you are using has seawater level of magnesium. To save money and increase dissolvability, some manufacturers of popular newer salts have included only half the level of magnesium necessary in their sea salt mixes, resulting in low calcium solubility and poor buffering! If magnesium is low, use Kent Tech M Magnesium.Regular water changes are recommended. Kent Marine Essential Elements and Coral-Vite should be used simultaneously with the calcium supplement you are using and the Pro Buffer dKH to replace those minerals lost in protein skimming and filtration and used up by corals and other invertebrates. Tanks with heavy coral populations require additional strontium to that which is in the Coral-Vite. Use Strontium & Molybdenum Supplement or Turbo Strontium for this. Tech I is our new timed release iodine supplement. You will notice increased size, growth and general health of soft corals with its use. Macro algae will require the Iron supplement, as well. Live corals require strong lighting of proper spectrum and immaculately clean systems.Ingredients:Deionized water containing carbonate, bicarbonate, sulfate and borate salts with trace minerals. 16OZ BOTTLE” |

5 In 1 Freshwater-salterwater 25 Test $12.07 Virbac Mardel 5 in 1 Test Strips for pH, hardness, alkalinity, nitrite, & nitrate, for saltwater and freshwater aquariums. 5 in 1 Indicator: pH indicates if your water is acidic or basic. A stable pH is critical to a healthy aquarium. Alkalinity is a measure of the compounds that stabilizes pH. Hardness is principally a measure of the calcium and magnesium in your water. If water conditions are not within the desired range, your fish may become stressed and susceptible to disease. Note: When fish species from different locations are kept, a tank is referred to as a community tank and a general range of conditions are recommended. Nitrite & Nitrate are byproducts of the nitrogen cycle, a natural process that breaks down waste in aquariums. Nitrite is more toxic than Nitrate, and should be held below 1 ppm. Mardel test strips use the same technology found in medical laboratories and replace other potentially toxic and time consuming kits. They are designed to be accurate and dependable while being safe and easy-to-use. Contents: 25 strips and water quality guide. |

8.2 Ph Buffer Stabilizer 8.8oz Aquarium $5.49 MICROBE-LIFT pH BUFFER/STABILIZER and KH Alkalinity Supplement Sets Saltwater at a pH of 8.2 Directions 1. Test your pH to determine need for adjustment because fish waste products continually tend to acidify tank water. If pH-adjustment upward is indicated then. 2. Pre-dissolve the measured pH buffer to use for your gallonage in 1-2 cups (250-500 mL) of freshwater (either bottled or dechlorinated tap water). This solution may be hazy. Add it to your tank water by flowing it over the surface area. Any resulting cloudiness should disappear quickly. 3. This blend of buffering salts is purposely gentle, so that raising the pH to a target within 8.0-8.3 should be accomplished in 1 or more consecutive applications, 48 hours apart, without overshooting safe limits. The number of applications depends on the starting pH, the gap to reach your target, and existing alkalinity (the equilibrium between bicarbonate, carbonate and hydroxide ions). Since it an take 48 hours +/- for buffering adjustments to stabilize, retest pH after 8 hours, before making another application. Cautions Keep out of the reach of children Follow directions carefully Avoid inhaling powder-dust This product is intended for use with all ornamental and aquarium fish but may not be used with fish intended for human consumption. |

Ammonia Remover 8oz Aquarium $4.99 Removes ammonia, chlorine and chlorines rapidly and completely when used as directed. MICROBE-LIFT/Ammonia Remover is buffered to help prevent a drop in both alkalinity (acid-neutralizing capacity) and pH when used to remove very high levels of total ammonia. Removes Ammonia Removes chlorine Removes chloramines Works immediately and will not delay or interrupt biological filtration. Directions: To remove and detoxify ammonia, chlorine and chloramines for water in aquariums or ponds add 1 teaspoonful of MICROBE-LIFT/Ammonia Remover per 10 gallons (38 L) of water. To remove ammonia in existing aquariums or ponds add 1 teaspoonful of MICROBE-LIFT/Ammonia Remover per 10 gallons (38 L) for each 1.0 mg/L, or fraction thereof, of measured total ammonia (= 0.85 mg/L total ammonia-nitrogen). To control ammonia in shipping fishes or invertebrates use MICROBE-LIFT/ Ammonia Remover at the standard dosage rate or increase (up to 10 times) if total ammonia levels are expected to be higher than 1.0 mg/L. It is recommended for routine shipping of fishes and invertebrates that trial, static, shipping tests are preformed to determine the typical levels of total ammonia that will occur in untreated water. For complete water conditioning we recommend the use of MICROBE-LIFT/XTreme. Contraindications Do not use with permanganate- or chlorite-based treatments. Nessler’s total ammonia test kits will give false, high (or off-scale) readings. Winkler dissolved oxygen tests will give false, low or zero readings; use indigo-carmine dissolved oxygen tests or DO meters. For total ammonia testing use only salicylate-based (indole-phenol) tests. MICROBE-LIFT/Ammonia Test Strips will function properly. The MICROBE-LIFT/Ammonia Test Strips are salicylate based and work well with this product. Non-toxic to humans, pets and aquatic life. This product may be used for all aquarium fish including those intended for human consumption. This is not a medication or economic poison and is not inten |

If water conditions are not within the desired range, your fish may become stressed and susceptible to disease. Note: When fish species from different locations are kept, a tank is referred to a community tank and a general range of conditions are recommended.Ammonia is produced by fish as waste and as a result of the breakdown of uneaten food and is toxic to fish even at low levels.Nitrite and Nitrate are byproducts of the nitrogen cycle, a natural process that breaks down waste in aquariums. Nitrite is more toxic than nitrate, and should be held below 1 ppm.Mardel Test Strips use the same technology found in medical laboratories and replace other potentially toxic and time-consuming kits. They are designed to be accurate and dependable while being safe and easy-to-use. |

Includes liquid testing agents, easy to read color charts, test tube, instructions, and buffer supplement.pH Indicator, 0.51 fl. oz.Alkalinity Indicator, 0.51 fl. oz.Buffer Supplement, 0.85 fl. oz.test tube with ml markings clearly marked and stoppercolor scaleseasy to follow instructionsIntroduction To pH And AlkalinityThe pH is a very important parameter in the biology of aquatic organisms. It is a measure of the acidity or basicity of the water. The scale runs from zero to 14. Zero is the most acidic. Seven is neutral and 14 is the most basic. The pH scale is not linear, but logarithmic. A change of one pH unit, for example from seven to six, means that the water gets ten times more acidic.Due to its chemistry, salt water is able to absorb a certain amount of acidic matter without a resulting change in pH. The substances in the water that do this are called buffers. The ability to withstand changes in pH is called buffer capacity. Based on a method of measuring buffer capacity, it is referred to as the alkalinity of seawater. In some of the literature alkalinity is termed carbonate hardness or kh carbonate buffer . This is exactly the same measurement as is measured in the Alkalinity Mini-Lab test.pH And AlkalinityThe pH of natural sea water varies geographically in the world’s oceans between 8.1 and 8.4. On a local scale the pH is however remarkably stable. This is due to the dissolved buffers (mainly bicarbonates), which prevent pH changes. Because of the enormous volume of the ocean, a nearly inexhaustible stock of buffers are present. The sea can take up large amounts of acids without a noticeable change in pH.Compared to the sea the volume of a marine aquarium is very limited and therefore the alkalinity is also limited. As fish produce acid waste products and as the buffering substances are used up by calcareous algae and invertebrates, the buffer |
