Description
Alkalinity+ with Trace is a carefully formulated solution designed to safely raise alkalinity while providing essential trace elements for your reef tank. It works best when used in combination with Calcium+ with Trace and Magnesium+ with Trace, together delivering 18 different trace elements to support overall coral health and vibrant growth. When added, 1 mL per 100 liters (26 gallons) will increase alkalinity by approximately 0.1 dKH. Maintaining stable alkalinity levels between 8–9 dKH helps corals build strong skeletons, promotes vibrant coloration, and supports a healthy, balanced reef ecosystem.
Dosing Guidelines
- Standard Dose: 1 mL per 100 liters (26 gallons) → increases alkalinity by ~0.1 dKH
- Recommended Levels: Maintain 8–9 dKH for optimal coral growth
- Adjust Gradually: Test your water regularly and dose slowly to avoid sudden swings
- Combination Use: Best results when paired with Calcium+ with Trace and Magnesium+ with Trace, providing a complete suite of trace elements
Application Tips
- Dose into your sump or a high-flow area for even distribution
- Avoid concentrated direct dosing into display tanks to prevent irritation
- Automated dosing systems help maintain consistent and safe alkalinity levels
- Regular testing ensures your tank stays balanced for coral growth and overall reef health
Benefits of Stable Alkalinity
- Supports strong skeletal growth in corals and invertebrates
- Promotes vibrant coloration and enhanced coral health
- Maintains stable pH and overall water chemistry
- Reduces stress on livestock caused by sudden alkalinity fluctuations
Community Benefits
Using Alkalinity+ with Trace as part of a full routine with Calcium+ with Trace and Magnesium+ with Trace helps establish a thriving reef community. Balanced alkalinity and a full complement of trace elements encourage robust coral growth, healthy fish, and stable microfauna, creating a resilient and visually stunning reef tank.
