Raise one and the others may fall. One of the primary reasons for this is an improper carbonate\/bicarbonate ratio. The buffer ratio changes as a natural consequence of the buffer's ability to counteract acidifying sources such as organic acids (produced naturally from waste) or introduced from non-pH controlled husbandry products. In this case, adding more buffer would unnecessarily result in a rise in alkalinity and a drop in calcium. The first product of its kind, balance™ ends this see-saw effect. It resets this ratio by converting bicarbonate into carbonate in order to reassert a higher pH without affecting calcium level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ebalance™ is an optimized blend of sodium and potassium hydroxides with a NSW ratio (27:1) of sodium to potassium to avoid ionic imbalance with long term use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eaquavitro® offers other solutions designed to address the unique challenge of raising pH in a reef environment. ions™ addresses the problem of low magnesium which is a cause of low buffering pK and pH. eight.four™ addresses deficiencies in pK found in competing products by providing a properly balanced (carbonate\/bicarbonate) buffer system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDirections\u003cbr\u003ebalance™ is intended to be used to raise pH when all other parameters (alkalinity, calcium, magnesium) are at optimal levels, but pH is still low. The amount of balance™ needed to raise pH to the desired level will vary widely, depending upon the buffering capacity and quality of your tank water.

If your calcium, magnesium and alkalinity are all in the proper levels but pH is still low, you can use balance to correct this.

I see on the bottle that it says it safely raises pH to 8.4. Does this mean you cannot overdose this product?\u003cbr\u003eA: While eight.four™ is certainly a very safe and effective means of adding alkalinity, overdosing is possible with any product. eight.four™ is blended in such a way that allows one to dose a significant amount more than the standard dose without overshooting pH above 8.4. However, your alkalinity can still be overshot causing issues with ionic balance. Significant overdosing of this product could potentially cause too high of a KH, thus resulting in issues with maintaining other parameters, namely calcium.

In many cases, magnesium is used in place of calcium for calcification. In addition to its role in calcification, magnesium is used by organisms ranging from bacteria, to coralline algae to fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow can you be sure if magnesium levels are deficient? There are a couple of indications; severely depleted levels of magnesium (below 800 mg\/L) can cause depressed pH levels and an inability to maintain proper calcium levels (more on ionic imbalance).The best way to tell if you need a magnesium supplement, though, is to test for it using a magnesium test kit such as Seachem's Reef Status®: Magnesium \u0026amp; Carbonate and Borate Alkalinity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you've determined your magnesium levels are low, supplementation with ions™ is necessary. ions™ restores magnesium by employing the most concentrated (90,000 mg\/L), fully dissolved magnesium and does so without adding any ammonia. Other liquid magnesium supplements inherently contain ammonia because the magnesium chloride used in their production contains ammonia. This is a result of the mechanisms for deriving and\/or producing magnesium chloride. aquavitro has gone to considerable lengths to remove this contaminant and a proprietary process makes ions™ the first and only liquid magnesium supplement that does not contain ammonia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing a fully dissolved magnesium is critical. Some magnesium supplements use a magnesium source that is simply not soluble, that is, unavailable. This means it can never be utilized by reef organisms, and is, consequently, of no value. If the product itself is milky white or the instructions direct the user to shake well, more than likely, a substantial amount of magnesium is not being utilized (the same is true of calcium products). ions™ also includes strontium and boron in the NSW ratio of 1.7:1 to avoid ionic imbalance with long term use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDirections\u003cbr\u003eBeginner: Use 5 mL for every 90 L (25 US gallons) twice a week. Check magnesium once a week and adjust amount or frequency accordingly. Note: each inner cap thread is approximately 1 mL.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdvanced: Check magnesium level, then follow addition regimen above until magnesium is adjusted to 1200-1350 mg\/L. Each 5 mL\/90 L (25 US gallons) will raise magnesium by about 5 mg\/L. Quantity or frequency can be adjusted, but do not exceed 25 mL\/90 L (25 US gallons) per day. Thereafter, use as required to maintain magnesium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike competing products that require multi-day interval dosing. ions™ can be dosed daily and within minutes of the entire aquavitro line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFAQ\u003cbr\u003eMy tank only has a magnesium level of 1050 mg\/L. I have been using ions™ daily for the past week and my magnesium level is not increasing very much. Do you know why this is?\u003cbr\u003eA: Each standard dose of ions™ will raise magnesium by 5mg\/L. In cases where magnesium is severely low, it is acceptable to add up to 5X the recommended dose each day in order to see a more notable increase in magnesium. Unfortunately, it will take a large quantity of any magnesium supplement in order to increase magnesium by such a large amount (about 300mg\/L in your case). For the future, you may want to look into using a salt that contains a more appropriate level of magnesium, such as our salinity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat if I want to raise strontium without raising magnesium\u003cbr\u003eA: Strontium use by corals is not completely understood; much of its use seems linked to temperature or the absence of calcium in systems. It is a factor in the stability in the skeletal systems of corals. Typically, its rate of utilization will not exceed the rate of magnesium utilization. So ions™ offers a continuous supply necessary for all systems. So will it build up? No, it shouldn’t, but if it does, there is a margin of safety of 10X natural seawater for strontium. Any normal water change would negate this concern. If one wanted to run elevated levels of strontium, by all means use Reef Strontium™.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdditional Info:\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.aquavitro.com\/ions.php\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.aquavitro.com\/ions.php\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simply Fish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41836707840077,"sku":"","price":23.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/2180\/0269\/files\/LK118.png?v=1748929867"},{"product_id":"aquavitro-calcification-150ml","title":"Aquavitro Calcification 150mL","description":"\u003cp\u003ecalcification™ is a concentrated (140,000 mg\/L) optimized blend of ionic and bioavailable gluconate-complexed calcium designed to restore and maintain calcium to levels found in natural seawater, without affecting pH. These two forms of calcium are combined in calcification™ to provide the hobbyist with a convenient way to ensure peak coral growth and health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIonic calcium is readily available, while the gluconate-complexed calcium confers several benefits. The uncharged calcium in calcification™ is readily absorbed with less physiological work than is required for the absorption of ionic calcium. Using calcification™, it is not necessary to maintain the excessively high concentrations of calcium (about 450 mg\/L or more) often recommended by others. In fact, excellent growth of corals and coraline algae is achieved with total calcium concentrations as low as 380 mg\/L. Used up to four times recommended maintenance dose, the gluconate polymer will not accumulate or encourage the growth of undesirable algae. The polymer itself is beneficial as a food source not only to the corals and other invertebrates, but also to denitrifying bacteria, actually promoting the natural anaerobic denitrification process in live rock and other substrate. Furthermore, the use of this gluconate polymer allows calcium, strontium, and magnesium to be utilized more readily than they would otherwise and also helps to stabilize them in solution without depleting alkalinity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome prefer not to use complexed calcium because of concern about adding organics to the aquarium. This is not a valid concern. The amount of organics added with complexed calcium is insignificantly small when compared to the organics released by most reef creatures, even in a no feed, no nutrients approach. Since complexed calcium products employ lactate or gluconate, the naive misconception that these products contain sugars has arisen. While these components are related to sugars, they are oxidized aldehydes and do not react or behave as sugars. Polygluconate contains no nitrogen or phosphorous, thus it is biologically impossible for it to lead to algae growth in a properly maintained reef system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike competing products that require multi-day interval dosing when combined with carbonate supplements, calcification™ can be dosed daily and within minutes of our eight.four™ as well as the entire aquavitro reef line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDirections\u003cbr\u003eBeginner: Use 5 mL for every 70 L (18 US gallons) twice a week.

Each 5 mL\/70 L (18 US gallons) will raise calcium by about 10 mg\/L. Quantity or frequency can be adjusted, but do not exceed 15 mL\/70 L (18 US gallons) per day. Thereafter, use as required to maintain calcium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFAQ\u003cbr\u003eIt says calcification can be dosed together with carbonate supplements. Usually this is not the case. What is different about calcification?\u003cbr\u003eA: You're correct in that most calcium and alkalinity supplements should be dosed separately, and in many cases on alternate days. Keep in mind that calcium and magnesium are both ions that carry a positive charge while alkalinity supplements\/buffers, on the other hand, are negatively charged. Because of the ionic nature of these components, they should not be dosed at the same time because opposites attract and the positively charged ions will bind to the negatively charged buffer and precipitate out of solution. When this happens, you will often notice a white substance form or cloudiness occur as the products come together and precipitate. This decreases the efficacy of the products you have added.\u003cbr\u003eWith calcification™, we are not using the standard calcium chloride that most other manufacturers use. calcification™ is a blend of ionic and bio-available gluconate-complexed calcium. This means that some of the calcium in this product is uncharged and will prevent the precipitation effects commonly seen in using calcium chloride supplements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI left the cap off of my bottle of calcification and now it looks like there is a thick precipitate inside the bottle. Is this normal and can I still use the product?\u003cbr\u003eA: Because evaporation has occurred by leaving the top off, you have witnessed the formation of a thick precipitate. calcification™ should be stored with the cap securely tightened to prevent this in the future. Although the precipitate is not harmful, you should add some distilled or RO\/DI water to the bottle and shake vigorously. The precipitate should go back into solution thoroughly and the product will be safe to continue using.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdditional Info:\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.aquavitro.com\/calcification.php\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.aquavitro.com\/calcification.php\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simply Fish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41836719079501,"sku":"","price":19.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/2180\/0269\/files\/LK058.png?v=1748930586"},{"product_id":"seachem-reef-fusion1-500ml","title":"Seachem Reef Fusion1 500mL","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"173\" data-end=\"293\"\u003eSupport vibrant, flourishing corals with \u003cstrong data-start=\"214\" data-end=\"239\"\u003eSeachem Reef Fusion 1\u003c\/strong\u003e, a super-concentrated calcium supplement designed to:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"295\" data-end=\"704\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"295\" data-end=\"368\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"297\" data-end=\"368\"\u003eDeliver 100,000 mg\/L ionic calcium, essential for strong coral growth\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"369\" data-end=\"461\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"371\" data-end=\"461\"\u003eInclude trace elements like magnesium, strontium, boron, iron, manganese, and molybdenum\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"462\" data-end=\"556\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"464\" data-end=\"556\"\u003eWork synergistically with Reef Fusion 2 to maintain balanced calcium and alkalinity levels\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"557\" data-end=\"620\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"559\" data-end=\"620\"\u003eBe used individually for targeted adjustments in reef tanks\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"621\" data-end=\"704\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"623\" data-end=\"704\"\u003eOffer long-lasting value—perfect for daily dosing in heavily stocked reef systems\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"706\" data-end=\"816\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"706\" data-end=\"720\"\u003eUsage Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dose 1 mL per 25 L every 1–2 days into a high-flow area.
