Brightwell Aquatics boost ph+, 500 ml. Ph increaser for difficult aquariums and those with high CO2 levels, can maintain up to 8.5 pH

Brightwell Aquatics boost ph+, 500 ml. Ph increaser for difficult aquariums and those with high CO2 levels, can maintain up to 8.5 pHOverviewIncreases pH in marine and reef aquaria without affecting alkalinity or calcium level on properly buffered tanks (which is an unusual ability not found in most similar products) .Works with buffers and alkalinity products to increase pH to desirable 8,3, 8.4 or 8.5 levels without increasing alkalinity itself (in marine aquariums that have a proper alkalinity of 7.7 to 10 dKH)Thought to assistcoral growth. Anecdotal evidence shows higher pH allows increased growth rate in new frags and mother colonies in coral growout facilitiesSizes250ml | 500ml | 1L | 2L| 4LTechnical OverviewFIRST, please read this entire page! Boost pH is designed to be used as needed. Although it can be dosed, there can be difficulties with dosing, if you don’t understand the pitfalls (see Pitfalls section below). pH is a measurement of the acidity of a solution, such as aquarium water. The pH of natural seawater ranges from approximately 8.2 – 8.4, however maintaining pH in the range of 8.4 – 8.5 on a daily basis is thought to have a positive effect on captive marine organism growth rate, primarily in stony corals.Also may help prevent bleaching, boost immune response and assist in coloration.To maintain a stable pH within the desired range, the alkalinity mustfirst be maintained within a range of 7.5 – 10.0dKH (2.7 – 3.6meq/L).Aquaria with low circulation at the waters surface, or in which a CO2-injected calcium reactor is being employed, or which are placed in an enclosed room with human and animal inhabitants (giving off CO2 into the air), often have a depressed pH due to carbon dioxide build up. In an aquarium which has a proper alkalinity as stated above,Boost pH+,along with other measures, such as providing outside air to the skimmer intake and other CO2 control methods, can help to bring pH in the aquarium back into a higher desired range without raising alkalinity to an unacceptable level. Use as directed anddo not exceed a pH value of 8.5, because pH at 8.6 or higher may be stressful and/or damaging to sensitive aquarium inhabitants.Additionally, changes to pH should be made very gradually, again to avoid stressing aquarium inhabitants. See suggestions for adjusting alkalinity below. It is not unusual for pH to fluctuate throughout the course of 24-hours between seemingly wide-ranging values (i.e. lower at night higher during the middle of the day); this is a natural occurrence that is caused by changes in the rates of photosynthesis between dark and light periods. If pH levels are seen to be constantly below the desired level and alkalinity is within the proper range, then the addition ofBoost pH+, this product, may be very helpful if the hobbyist has already properly adjusted the alkalinity and it is within recommended ranges. If comparing pH to determine howBoost pH+is working, measure at the same time every day.Instructions & GuidelinesCan cause burns, First read warning and follow safety recommendationswhile using or storing this product!Wear suitable gloves and eye/face protection during use.Whenused as directed, this product safely raises pH only and does not increase alkalinity or calcium level.You must use other products for those functions and those functions are absolutely required in every marine aquarium. Do not attempt to useBoost pH+on systems with low alkalinity or to use it to raise alkalinity. It is not designed for that. First, determine the alkalinity in the aquariumusing an accurate test kit (recommended) or recently-calibrated meter before using this product (see section below on pitfalls prior to use). If the alkalinity is below 7.6 dKH or 2.7 meq/L,adjust it firstusingBrightwell AquaticspH+orAlkalin8.3orAlkalin8.3-P(powder)(all three of these products raise both the alkalinity and pH, unlikeBoost pH+which only r
