ESV B-Ionic Buffer Concentrate 8 Gallon Component

Product details

ESV B-Ionic Buffer Concentrate 8 Gallon Component is a two-part liquid additive system designed to help maintain key reef aquarium parameters—calcium and carbonate alkalinity—using equal volumes of Component A and Component B. It’s practical for aquarists who want a straightforward way to support calcification while helping restore inorganic ions lost during protein skimming. Use it as directed and adjust dosage based on your test results to keep your aquarium stable over time.

Features:

• Two-component liquid system for calcium and carbonate alkalinity support
• When dosed in equal volumes, helps maintain calcium and alkalinity levels for calcification
• Does not contain phosphates or nitrates
• Provides major, minor, and trace elements in ratios intended to duplicate natural seawater composition
• Concentrated components make dosing adjustments simpler when paired with regular testing

Specifications:

• System type: Two-component liquid supplement (Component A + Component B)
• Starting daily dosage: 1 ml of each component per 4 gallons of aquarium capacity per day
• Alkalinity maintenance target (per instructions): Maintain alkalinity between 3.0 and 3.75 meq/L (8.4 to 10.5 dKH)
• Maximum daily limit (per instructions): Never add more than 1 ml per gallon of each component in a 24-hour period
• pH ceiling (per instructions): Never allow pH to rise above 8.45
• Component A (Carbonate Alkalinity): 2800 meq/L (7840 dKH); 1 ml per gallon raises alkalinity by 0.74 meq/L (2.07 dKH)
• Component B (Calcium Concentration): 54,000 ppm calcium ion; 1 ml per gallon raises calcium concentration by 16 ppm
