Red Sea Foundation KH/Alkalinity 500ML

Red Sea’s Reef Foundation B (KH/Alkalinity) is a balanced carbonate and bicarbonate buffer used to maintain proper alkalinity and pH in saltwater reef aquariums. It ensures corals have the chemical building blocks required to grow balanced skeletons. Recommended Levels Natural seawater (NSW) typically sits around an alkalinity of 7.0 dKH (2.5 meq/L). Depending on your specific reef setup, Red Sea recommends the following parameters: Mixed Reefs: 8.0 dKH (2.9 meq/L)SPS Frags & Rapid Growth: 11.2 dKH (4.0 meq/L)Ultra Low Nutrient (ULNS): 12.6 dKH (4.5 meq/L) Dosing Guidelines Foundation B is available in both liquid and powder (makes stock solution) forms. The dosing ratio calculates how to raise the level in your tank: Liquid Dosing: 1 mL raises the alkalinity of 100 Liters (~25 gallons) by 0.1 dKH (0.036 meq/L).Powder Dosing: 1 gram raises the alkalinity of 100 Liters (~25 gallons) by 0.33 dKH (0.12 meq/L). Testing and Balancing To safely adjust your tank parameters, it is critical to know exactly where your current levels are. You can use the ⁠Red Sea Foundation Pro Test Kit to perform an advanced titration to track your alkalinity with high precision.
