Reef Builder Seachem

Since raising the carbonate hardness, these elements are precipitated, Reef Builder contains it inside to compensate for their inevitable leak.

Instructions for Use

Beginners: use half a teaspoon for 150 l (40 gallons) twice a week. Dissolve in at least one cup of fresh water. Check the alkalinity every 2 weeks and adjust the dose or frequency accordingly.

Intermedia: Check alkalinity, then follow dosing regime until the alkininity is adjusted for 4-5 MEQ / L. Each dose will increase alkalinity of about 0.25 MEQ / L. Dose size or frequency can be adjusted, but Do not exceed 1 MEQ / L per day. Subsequently, use as required to maintain alkalinity.

Experts: After determining the alkalinity consumption rate, he set up a drop drip system. Use the following formula to determine the quantity to add to your top-off water: t = 0.05VA (t = teaspoons to add to the top of the water, v = volume of the tank in liters, a quantity = to increase alkalinity in meq / l). For example, if you want to increase your alkalinity of 1 MEQ / L in a 50 gallon tank, then you should add 0.05x50x1 = 2.5 teaspoons in top-off water.
