{"id":7959632183536,"title":"Tropical Marine Power Easy KH\/Alkalinity - 1000 ml","handle":"tropical-marine-power-easy-kh-alkalinity-1000-ml","description":"The 1000 ml container of Tropical Marine Power Easy KH\/Alkalinity is a state of the art marine additive meant to raise the level of KH\/Alkalinity (bicarbonate level) within marine aquariums. Designed specifically for smaller tanks that are primarily inhabited by soft corals. The active element of the product is a substance that increases the alkalinity of water, as well as small amounts of potassium, iodine and flourine. Alkalinity is one of the most important components to a healthy saltwater environment, but unlike in nature, where the levels are at a near constant, home aquaria suffers from frequent flucuations that are detrimental to the well being of the aquarium ecosystem. In a healthy marine aquarium the level of the bicarbonate ions (HCO3-) is constantly decreasing. Bicarbonate ions are the main source of building material for coral skeletons, but are also regularly consumed by snails, coralline algae and molluscs, depleting the essential resource from the tank. It is thanks to the appropriate level of KH (bicarbonates) that corals grow.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDosage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eThe dosage of MARINE POWER EASY KH\/ALKALINITY depends on the daily KH loss. One full cap of the liquid (about 20 ml) will increase KH by approx. 0.53 dKH in 100 l of water. The contents of the cap should be added into the aquarium near the circulating pump, so the liquid will be distributed effectively in the aquarium. In case of higher consumption of bicarbonates, we recommend our MARINE POWER ADVANCED KH\/ALKALINITY. Due to the potential stress the inhabitants of the aquarium, the daily increase of KH should not exceed 1 degree dKH.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlease Note: Excess and deficiency of bicarbonates (KH) can be both harmful to marine invertebrates, so you should regularly check the level of KH in the aquarium.\u003c\/b\u003e","published_at":"2022-05-10T18:57:19-04:00","created_at":"2022-05-10T18:57:19-04:00","vendor":"Tropical","type":"Royal Aquatics","tags":["3 Percent","Aquatics","Health and Water Quality","No Exchange","No Return","Reef Additives","Saltwater Fish"],"price":1745,"price_min":1745,"price_max":1745,"available":false,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":2093,"compare_at_price_min":2093,"compare_at_price_max":2093,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42816760119536,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"RAQ-56653","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":false,"name":"Tropical Marine Power Easy KH\/Alkalinity - 1000 ml","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":1745,"weight":2268,"compare_at_price":2093,"inventory_quantity":0,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":"5900469350171","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/shop.petlife.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/tropical-marine-power-easy-khalkalinity-1000-ml-755412.jpg?v=1661542550"],"featured_image":"\/\/shop.petlife.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/tropical-marine-power-easy-khalkalinity-1000-ml-755412.jpg?v=1661542550","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"Tropical Marine Power Easy KH\/Alkalinity - 1000 ml ","id":31117208453360,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":500,"width":500,"src":"\/\/shop.petlife.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/tropical-marine-power-easy-khalkalinity-1000-ml-755412.jpg?v=1661542550"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":500,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/shop.petlife.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/tropical-marine-power-easy-khalkalinity-1000-ml-755412.jpg?v=1661542550","width":500}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"The 1000 ml container of Tropical Marine Power Easy KH\/Alkalinity is a state of the art marine additive meant to raise the level of KH\/Alkalinity (bicarbonate level) within marine aquariums.
