CONTINUUM reef basis KH Buffer 500ml

Product details

CONTINUUM reef basis KH Buffer 500ml is a marine aquarium alkalinity (KH) buffering additive used to help stabilize alkalinity, a key reef parameter that influences overall pH stability. In practical terms, maintaining alkalinity helps prevent pH from dropping due to carbon dioxide buildup, acid addition, or decay of organic matter—conditions that can stress reef life. Continuum recommends maintaining alkalinity in the 7 to 11 dKH range and a pH around 8.3, with many SPS-focused aquarists aiming for roughly 7 to 9 dKH for tighter control.

Features:

• Helps maintain marine aquarium alkalinity (KH), supporting more stable reef-system pH
• Continuum recommends alkalinity target guidance of 7–11 dKH (2.5–4 meq/L) with pH around 8.3
• Designed for regular dosing (not a one-time adjustment) to keep alkalinity within your chosen range
• Use with alkalinity testing to dose as needed and avoid drifting parameters
• Avoid simultaneous addition with calcium or mineral supplements to reduce the risk of unwanted precipitation/cloudiness
• Shake well before use and dose with good aquarium circulation while allowing a few minutes between additive types
