Aquavitro Balance – 20 L
A frequent occurrence in reef systems is low pH, while calcium and alkalinity are at optimal levels. Raise one and other may fail. One of the primary reasons for this is an improper carbonate/bicarbonate ratio. The buffer ratio changes as a natural consequence of the buffer’s ability to counteract acidifying sources such as organic acids (produced naturally from waste) or introduced from non-pH controlled husbandry products. In this case, adding more buffer would unnecessarily result in a rise in alkalinity and a drop in calcium. The first product of its kind, Balance, ends this see-saw effect. It resets this ratio by converting bicarbonate into carbonate in order to reassert a higher pH without affecting calcium levels.
Balance is an optimized blend of sodium and potassium hydroxide, designed to adjust pH by shifting the carbonate to bicarbonate ratio without increasing alkalinity or reducing calcium levels.

FAQ
How does Aquavitro Balance differ from traditional pH buffers?
Aquavitro Balance converts bicarbonate to carbonate, adjusting pH without increasing alkalinity or reducing calcium levels. Traditional buffers often raise alkalinity, which can disrupt calcium balance in reef systems.
Can Balance be used in systems with low calcium levels?
No. Balance does not affect calcium levels and is designed to work in systems where calcium is already optimal. It is not intended to supplement or increase calcium.
What is the recommended dosage for Balance?
Please contact customer service for dosage recommendations based on your tank size and current water parameters.
Zoe Duncan –
Used Balance in my 120-gallon reef tank after experiencing repeated pH drops. It stabilized the pH without affecting calcium or alkalinity. The water parameters remained balanced for over three months. Easy to use and effective.
Gabrielle Quinn –
This product solved a long-standing issue with pH fluctuations. I noticed less need to adjust alkalinity, and calcium stayed stable. Only used it occasionally, which makes it a reliable tool.
Simon Tucker –
After switching from a standard buffer, my pH stayed consistent even during feeding cycles. No spikes in alkalinity or drops in calcium. Highly recommended for reef keepers dealing with pH instability.
