Reef Foundation B by Red Sea is a supplement dedicated to maintaining alkalinity and pH stability in reef aquariums. It provides a complex of carbonates and buffers naturally present in seawater, essential for coral skeleton formation.
Calcium, magnesium, strontium, and carbonates constitute the fundamental elements of coral skeletons. These elements must be maintained in balanced proportions to ensure the health and sustainable growth of soft corals.
Reef Foundation B KH is part of Red Sea's Reef Care program. It helps maintain stable alkalinity and a suitable pH for closed reef aquariums, promoting regular growth and a balanced coral skeleton.
| Form | Dosage | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Liquid supplement | 1 ml per 100 L | Increases alkalinity by 0.036 meq/L or 0.1 dKH |
| Powder supplement | 1 g per 100 L | Increases alkalinity by 0.12 meq/L or 0.33 dKH |
The powder version allows for the preparation of a stock solution, with 1 kg yielding approximately 10 L of solution.
Maintaining stable KH is essential for the chemical stability of the aquarium, pH regulation, and biological processes such as calcification and the formation of the aragonite skeleton of corals.
This product is available in several formats depending on the needs of the reef system, including the 1000 ml version suitable for medium to large-sized aquariums.
Reef Foundation B KH is recommended as part of regular monitoring of water parameters to ensure sustainable balance and optimal coral growth in reef aquariums.
