Powdered Hardness Booster 8.4 – Alkalinity & pH Stabilizer for Marine Aquariums
At Tavangar Aquarium Dubai, we recommend the Deep Ocean Powdered Hardness Booster 8.4 for maintaining long-term alkalinity and pH stability in marine aquariums.
This professional-grade supplement contains a balanced mix of carbonates, bicarbonates, and boron, which are essential for coral growth and the biological balance of reef systems.
Without these compounds, seawater gradually becomes acidic, disrupting coral calcification and lowering water quality.
Scientific studies show that about 60% by weight of coral skeletons is made up of calcium carbonate, which depends directly on carbonate and bicarbonate availability.
Regular dosing with Hardness Booster 8.4 provides the correct ratio of these elements, stabilizing pH between 8.1–8.4 and ensuring that calcium and magnesium remain bioavailable for coral tissue development.
How It Works
Carbon dioxide from surrounding air, uneaten food, and organic waste can lower the pH of aquarium water, preventing the secretion of calcium carbonate by corals.
Powdered Hardness Booster 8.4 effectively counteracts this by restoring the balance of buffering elements, supporting coral calcification and maintaining healthy water chemistry.
Usage Instructions
-
Measure carbonate hardness (KH) accurately using a test kit.
-
For every 75 liters of aquarium water, dissolve 2.5 grams of Alkaline Buffer Powder 8.4 in 250 cc of R/O water.
-
Add the solution slowly to the tank until the carbonate hardness reaches 8–12 dKH.
Professional Dosing Reference
-
Calculate weekly carbonate hardness consumption in your aquarium.
-
Prepare a stock solution by dissolving 20 grams of the powder in 250 cc of R/O water.
-
Add the required amount using the following reference values:
-
Reference 1: 1 cc of the above solution increases carbonate hardness by 0.82 dKH (0.29 meq/L) per gallon (3.78 L) of water.
-
Reference 2: 1 gram of the powder in one liter increases carbonate hardness by 39.05 dKH (13.94 meq/L).
💡 For precise dosing, use an aquarium calculator to match your tank’s exact water volume — the closer the input to reality, the more accurate the result.
