Description:
Safely raises pH of tap or aquarium water when used as directed. The use of a
good pH test kit is absolutely necessary while using this product, and the use
of an alkalinity test kit is strongly recommended! • CAUTION! Many electronic
pH pens and probes drift over time and frequent calibration with a good test kit
is strongly recommended!
Directions:
First read the considerations for use section below. This is a professional
strength product. Exercise care! If in doubt, use less, then measure pH.
Consult an authoritative guide for the proper pH for the type of fish you are
keeping. Add one teaspoon (1 capful or 5ml) for every 10 gallons (40 liters) of
tap or tank water to raise pH. PH stabilization takes 24 hours.
Considerations
for use: FRESHWATER AQUARIUMS: If you are using Reverse Osmosis water
or if your tap water is very soft (low total or general hardness, or GH), use
Kent R/O Right first to increase total dissolved solids to the proper
value. Measure the Total Alkalinity (buffering capacity, carbonate hardness, or
KH) of your water with an alkalinity test kit. If the alkalinity is low (see
chart below), add Kent pH STABLE to raise it to the proper level.
Next measure the pH. If it is low, add this product as directed to bring the pH
up. Never change pH more than .2 pH per day! Wait 24 hours for pH to stabilize,
between adjustments!
SALTWATER
OR BRACKISH AQUARIUMS: Use Kent Marine Superbuffer-dKH or Marine
Aquarium pH Buffer to raise the alkalinity (i.e. carbonate hardness
or KH) to the proper value. This is recommended to be 10 to 12 dKH or 3.5 to 4.5
meq/liter or 175 to 225 ppm. Wait 24 hours for pH to stabilize. If pH is low,
add this product as directed.
AFRICAN
CICHLID OR ALKALINE FRESHWATER AQUARIUMS: First use A F Cichlid Chemistry as
directed, then Kent A F Cichlid Buffer to raise the alkalinity (i.e. carbonate
hardness or KH) to the proper value. This is recommended to be 10 to 12 dKH or
3.5 to 4.5 meq/liter or 175 to 225 ppm. Wait 24 hours for pH to stabilize. If pH
is low, add this product as directed.
