Ph+, Ph Increaser for All Marine and Freshwater Aquariums - 125 Ml
Increases pH in marine and reef aquaria.
While not intended to act as a permanent solution to such issues, pH+ may
be used as needed until the cause of depressed pH is remedied.
May be used to help increase pH in aquaria that have adequate alkalinity
yet have chronically-depressed pH levels.
Composed of purified water and ultra-high purity materials; formulated by a
marine scientist.
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 8.1 - 8.5 on a daily basis has no negative impact on captive
marine organisms. To maintain stable pH within the desired range, the
alkalinity should be maintained within a range of 7 - 12 dKH (2.5 - 4.3 meq/L).
Aquaria with low circulation at the water’s surface, in which a CO2-injected
calcium reactor is being employed, or in which a carbonate-deficient sea salt
blend has been used, often have depressed pH. pH+ will bring pH in the aquarium
back into the desired range. Use as directed and do not exceed a pH value of
8.5, as this pH may be stressful and/or fatal to sensitive aquarium
inhabitants. Additionally, changes to pH should be made very gradually, again
to avoid stressing aquarium inhabitants. It is not unusual for pH to fluctuate
throughout the course of 24-hours between seemingly wide-ranging values (i.e.
8.1 at night to 8.4 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. This situation is frequently encountered in aquaria with considerable
growth of macroalgae (in the display aquarium or in a refugium). One proven
method of minimizing this daily pH-fluctuation is to implement a refugium that
is illuminated on an opposite schedule to the lighting for the display aquarium
known as reverse-daylight photosynthesis). In this method, the refugium is
illuminated at night when the display aquarium lights are turned off, and vice
versa; a 1-hour overlap of having all lights on encourages a smooth transition
and little change in pH. The result is that photosynthesis takes place 24-hours
a day and keeps pH as stable as can be managed. If pH levels are seen to be
constantly below the desired level and alkalinity is within the proper range,
increasing the circulation of water near the aquarium surface will often
produce positive results; this practice increases the rate of gas exchange and
encourages entrained CO2 to exit the aquarium before it has a chance to form
the weak acids responsible for low pH and depletion of alkalinity.

Directions pH is always lowest a few hours after the main lights have turned
off for the evening, and is highest a few hours after lights have been burning
during the day. Adjust pH to remain with a range of 8.1 - 8.5 at all times.
Before adjusting pH, ensure that the alkalinity in the aquarium is within a
range of 7 - 12 dKH (2.5 - 4.3 meq/L). Determine the pH in the aquarium using
an accurate test kit or recently-calibrated pH meter before using pH+. If the
alkalinity is below the desired level, adjust this first and then allow
24-hours to elapse before re-testing pH, then add pH+ as directed below.
Alkalinity may be increased by using a buffer-type product according to the
directions; again, an accurate test kit (for measuring alkalinity) should be
used whenever bringing about a significant change to the alkalinity. ’
Alkalin8.3 and Alkalin8.3-P (powder) are two buffer-type products that may be
used for this purpose.] Add this product at the maximum dosage of 5 ml per 20
US-gallons per 24-hours at the same time each day. pH will generally stabilize
within 2 hours following product use, however livestock should not be subjected
to a change in pH of more than 0.2 per 24-hour period, so do not overdose pH+.
Repeat as needed to attain desired pH value. It is recommended that pH be
maintained within a range of +/-0.2 at all times. Guaranteed Analysis:
