AquaPro Reef Carbonate is a concentrated carbonate and bicarbonate blend that raises alkalinity, supports stable reef pH, and provides carbonate required for coral calcification.
AquaPro Reef Carbonate is a concentrated blend of carbonate and bicarbonate salts formulated to restore and maintain alkalinity in reef aquariums. Carbonate alkalinity and calcium are both essential for coral calcification; a deficiency in either can limit coral growth and compromise reef health.
The buffering blend has an effective pK around 9.0 in seawater, helping counter the gradual acidification caused by organic processes in closed systems and supporting pH around the normal reef range.
When used as directed, AquaPro Reef Carbonate is designed to increase alkalinity without unnecessarily depleting calcium, magnesium, or strontium. Use together with an appropriate calcium supplement for balanced reef chemistry.
