About this product

Dose Brightwell Aquatics Alkalin8.3 at up to 5 ml a day into a 30-gallon aquarium until alkalinity reads 7–12 dKH, then keep dosing daily or weekly for maintenance. This 1 L liquid aquarium water treatment is a concentrated KH buffer that raises alkalinity and adjusts pH to 8.3 as a multi-component automatic buffer. A carbonate source is part of what the bottle delivers, and the liquid carries no phosphates, no silicate and no organic materials.

Dosing Alkalin8.3 into a reef tank

Add no more than 5 ml of Alkalin8.3 per day to a 30-gallon aquarium, and continue until alkalinity sits where you want it between 7 and 12 dKH. A test kit is needed for accurate dosing, so the reading decides when to stop the daily build-up.

Once the target is reached, dose as needed to hold it, either daily or weekly. For ongoing maintenance the buffer is intended to keep alkalinity between 7.5 and 9.5 dKH.

What the concentrated KH buffer contains and what it does

Alkalin8.3 is a multi-component automatic buffer that raises alkalinity and adjusts pH to 8.3. It provides a source of carbonates.

Phosphate, silicate and organic material are not part of the formula. Brightwell Aquatics describes it as addressing pH and KH instability that comes from poor salt mixes and from buffering products that do not hold. The 1 L bottle weighs 1.09 kg and measures 8.3 x 8.3 x 24.1 cm.

Questions about dosing and use

How much Alkalin8.3 goes into a 30-gallon tank?

Up to 5 ml per day, added until alkalinity reaches the desired level of 7–12 dKH.

How do I know when the alkalinity level is right?

With a test kit; accurate dosing depends on testing the water rather than guessing.

What alkalinity does Alkalin8.3 maintain after the target is reached?

Between 7.5 and 9.5 dKH, with dosing as needed daily or weekly.

Does Alkalin8.3 add phosphates or silicates?

No. Phosphate, silicate and organic material are absent from the formula.

What does the 1 L bottle contain?

1 L of liquid Alkalin8.3 concentrated KH buffer, listed as the included component.
