81378 Power KH + / 1,000 g

Provides coral with necessary hydrogen carbonate, promotes stone coral growth and stabilises the pH value. Power KH+ is easily soluble and does not tarnish. Increases the KH / alkalinity stabilises the pH value thanks to higher buffer capacity essential for all limescale forming organisms supports the formation of limescale including dosing spoon instructions inside. Alkalinity or carbonate hardness (KH) is a measure of the buffer capacity of the water and crucial for a stable pH value in the aquarium. Alkalinity or KH should be between KH 6 and KH 8°dH in the seawater aquarium. In natural sea water, the alkalinity is approx. 7.0 dH. This value is stable in the sea due to the large water mass, but in the aquarium biochemical processes can have a great influence on the carbonate hardness and change it. Stone corals, shells, soft corals and lime alkalines extract calcium and carbonate ions from the water during the formation of calcium and carbonate ions and store limescale in the form of calcium carbonate. This reduces the CA and the KH value. A regular addition of Power KH+ or KH+ liquid stabilises the alkalinity and prevents the dangerous acid fall. Due to the different number of consumers, each aquarium has its own needs. Partially a well-growing aquarium can "eat" 1 KH a day. Therefore, the KH value must be checked at least once a week. Power KH+ and KH+ liquid are easy and comfortable to use, do not tarnish and can be dosed directly into the aquarium. Power KH+: a dosing spoon increases alkalinity (KH) at 100 litres of sea water by 4 dH. KH+ liquid: 30 ml increase the KH at 100 litres of sea water by 1 °dH. Suitable for dosing pumps Background carbonate hardness or alkalinity? Carbonate hardness is an outdated term from drinking water analysis and is defi renewed as part of the earth calimetals, which can be precipited by heating under the formation of carbonates (boiler stone). Therefore, the term "temporary hardness" comes too. Due to the different composition of seawater and drinking water, there is neither a temporary hardness nor carbonate hardness, but only the term alkalinity. Alkalinity is therefore the same as the simplified spelling method KH.
