Find a productProduct description
This KH buffer is for reef keepers who need a stable carbonate hardness in a saltwater tank. Instead of correcting KH only after it drifts, you prepare a solution from the powder and keep alkalinity in the recommended range. The product is sold under the Balling name and comes in a 5 kg pack.
Why it matters
- Maintains carbonate hardness (KH) at a steady level in reef aquariums, with a recommended target of 6.5–8.0 dKH.
- Is prepared as a solution: 80 g of powder is dissolved in 1000 ml of demineralised water.
- Works as part of a complete mineral system, alongside Calcium, Magnesium and Reef Mineral Salt from Aquaforest, to keep ionic balance.
- The 5 kg pack gives a large supply for regular, repeated preparation of the solution.
