ALKALINITY | PH | BORON
Hydroshock alkalinity is a highly effective alkalinity supplement specially developed for reef aquariums, delivering a total alkalinity of 8,400 dKH. Formulated to precisely replenish carbonate alkalinity consumed by coral growth, it supports stable and robust coral skeleton formation by maintaining optimal aragonite saturation states. The inclusion of boron enhances buffering capacity, significantly reducing day to night pH fluctuations that can stress corals and inhibit growth. Regular use helps achieve consistently ideal alkalinity levels, promoting vibrant coral coloration and overall aquarium health.
Instructions
Start dosing at 1 mL per 100 L daily, matching equally with Hydroshock Calcium and Magnesium.
Regularly test alkalinity (dKH) and adjust the dosage of all three parts slowly to maintain your desired alkalinity (usually matching your salt mix).
If alkalinity significantly drifts, temporarily dose Hydroshock Alkalinity independently to restore balance before resuming standard 1 : 1 : 1 dosing.
Dose into areas of high water flow.
For larger alkalinity corrections (>0.5 dKH/day), split doses into smaller applications or drip overnight to prevent pH spikes.
