Two Little Fishies pH-Balance Water Conditioner is a marine aquarium buffer designed to raise both alkalinity and pH, helping to stabilize water quality and maintain a stable pH of 8.3. It is a powder mixture of organic and inorganic salts, including carbonate and calcium bicarbonate. The product is recommended for use when alkalinity is low and pH values decline, which can happen due to biological activity in an aquarium.
Features and benefits:
- Raises pH and alkalinity: It is formulated to increase both the pH and carbonate alkalinity of marine and reef aquarium water.
- Stabilizes water quality: It helps buffer the water, preventing drastic pH swings that can occur between daytime photosynthesis and nighttime respiration.
- Aims for an 8.3 pH: The product is designed to make it easy to maintain a stable pH of around 8.3, which is ideal for many marine and reef environments.
- Made with safe ingredients: It contains a blend of carbonate and calcium bicarbonate salts.
How it works
- In marine aquariums, pH can drop overnight as fish and other organisms respire and release carbon dioxide (CO2).
- With the lights on during the day, photosynthesis consumes CO2 and raises the pH.
- If the aquarium's alkalinity is low, it can lead to a decline in pH and difficulty in reaching the desired pH range.
- Adding pH-Balance replenishes the buffering capacity of the water, helping to stabilize the pH within the desired range.
