eight.four

• supplies a properly balanced buffer system that yields an industry leading pK of 8.6 which makes pH maintenance of 8.3-8.5 easy
• will safely raise marine pH while adjusting alkalinity

Description

Many competing buffers for reef aquaria are simply sodium
bicarbonate. Such buffers have a pK of only 8.0 in saltwater and simply are
unable to maintain a pH above 8.0. The low buffering pK is a function of the
low carbonate/bicarbonate ratio.

eight.four supplies a properly balanced
(carbonate/bicarbonate) buffer system that yields an industry leading pK of 8.6
which makes pH maintenance of 8.3-8.5 easy. A higher pK increases the buffer’s
ability to counteract inevitable acidic sources in the water. eight.four will
safely raise marine pH while adjusting alkalinity. eight.four contains a
concentrated, balanced blend of bicarbonate and carbonate salts designed to
restore disrupted buffer systems and increase carbonate alkalinity.

If an alkalinity of 6 meq/L has been reached and a pH of at
least 8.20 has not been attained, the system may be ionically unbalanced. Check
magnesium levels. If magnesium is low, use ions. However, if magnesium levels
are within optimal range, the buffer ratio has likely been disrupted (the
buffer ratio changes as a natural consequence of the buffer’s ability to
counteract acidifying sources such as organic acids). You can raise pH without
raising alkalinity using balance.

Unlike competing products that require multi-day interval
dosing when combined with carbonate supplements, eight.four can be dosed daily
and within minutes of our calcification as well as balance and ions

Directions

Dosing requirements will vary, but do not exceed the
recommended dose without checking your pH and alkalinity (alkalinity should not
exceed 6 meq/L). Use one inner capful (7 ml) for every 110 L (30 gallons*)
daily until pH stabilizes to desired level.

pH stabilization may take from a day to a week, depending on
original pH, alkalinity, and buffer system balance. Thereafter, use as needed
to maintain pH.

Note: The aquavitro cap offers multiple dosing solutions
depending on the size of your system. Each inner cap thread is approximately 2
mL. The inner cap contains 7 mL, while the outer ring contains 28 mL (35 mL
when both are filled to the level of the inner cap.) When filled to the top,
the cap contains 49 mL.
