Alkalinity
Oceansix Alkalinity is a balanced blend of carbonate and bicarbonate salts specifically formulated to restore and maintain alkalinity in the reef aquarium. Carbonate ions are essential in the growth of all corals. An alkalinity deficiency will result in halted coral growth and a decline in coral health. Using Oceansix Alkalinity will result in a stabilised pH of 8.3 to 8.4. The ideal range for alkalinity in a reef aquarium is 8 to 17 dKH.
