Such buffers have a pK of only 8.0 in saltwater and simply are unable to maintain a pH above 8.0. The low buffering pK is a function of the low carbonate\/bicarbonate ratio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eeight.four™ supplies a properly balanced (carbonate\/bicarbonate) buffer system that yields an industry leading pK of 8.6 which makes pH maintenance of 8.3-8.5 easy. A higher pK increases the buffer's ability to counteract inevitable acidic sources in the water. eight.four™ will safely raise marine pH while adjusting alkalinity. eight.four™ contains a concentrated, balanced blend of bicarbonate and carbonate salts designed to restore disrupted buffer systems and increase carbonate alkalinity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf an alkalinity of 6 meq\/L has been reached and a pH of at least 8.20 has not been attained, the system may be ionically unbalanced. Check magnesium levels. If magnesium is low, use ions™. However, if magnesium levels are within optimal range, the buffer ratio has likely been disrupted (the buffer ratio changes as a natural consequence of the buffer's ability to counteract acidifying sources such as organic acids). You can raise pH without raising alkalinity using balance™.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike competing products that require multi-day interval dosing when combined with carbonate supplements, eight.four™ can be dosed daily and within minutes of our calcification™ as well as balance™ and ions™\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDirections\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDosing requirements will vary, but do not exceed the recommended dose without checking your pH and alkalinity (alkalinity should not exceed 6 meq\/L). Use one inner capful (7 ml) for every 110 L (30 gallons*) daily until pH stabilizes to desired level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003epH stabilization may take from a day to a week, depending on original pH, alkalinity, and buffer system balance. Thereafter, use as needed to maintain pH.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e The aquavitro cap offers multiple dosing solutions depending on the size of your system. Each inner cap thread is approximately 2 mL. The inner cap contains 7 mL, while the outer ring contains 28 mL (35 mL when both are filled to the level of the inner cap.) When filled to the top, the cap contains 49 mL.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seachem","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40276345880726,"sku":"AV84350","price":18.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1161\/1898\/products\/eightfour_large_3e82fa8f-b5be-498c-af1c-d91b05bf0e31.png?v=1626324510","url":"https:\/\/www.freshnmarine.com\/en-bn\/products\/aquavitro-eight-four-350ml","provider":"Fresh N Marine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
