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
