(Base KH1, Base KH2, Base CAL, Base MAG)
Contains all essential trace elements found in natural seawater, organic and inorganic micronutrients and amino acids in one product! All you need to maintain a thriving and colourful reef aquarium in a special secret proportional formula. Developed to enhance red, pink, blue, purple and especially yellow/orange pigments and extreme polyp extension in all types of corals. Designed for blue side spectrum reef aquariums for better colour excitation and stimulation, but can be used in all type of reef keeping conditions. With the correct white spectrum and light schedule, this product can increase growth by 2x the normal rate but will also be consumed by approximately 1.5-2x. It’s a 4 equal parts dosing system by proportional consumption of KH (@ 7.5-8dKH) to avoid any overdose. Aiming to make professional and modern reef keeping simple and easy.

Concentration:
10ml x100 liters will raise 1dKH
Preparation:
This product can be dosed by hand but it is recommended to be used using a dosing pump, especially for SPS dominant reef aquariums. Preferable a dosing pump that can be calibrated with 4 heads. You can join base KH1 and KH2 to be dosed in one pump if your doser has 3 heads only, but you will have to multiply the dosage by 2.
Please consider these tips to improve the pump performance and accurate dosing:
- The tubing from the canisters to the dosing pump heads should have the same length and also from the pumps to your aquarium should have the same length. This will make the pumps have some conditions and calibration will be more constant between them.
- Calibrate your dosing pump.
- program to dose equal parts and give 10 minutes between each dosing pump. Ideally, start with KH1, then CAL, then KH2, then MAG with 10-15 minutes gap in between.
- Spread the dosage in 24 hours and try to spread the dosage as many times as your dosing pump allows it per day.
Dosage:
Simply dose equal parts from each to keep KH between 7.2-8.5dKH and all the rest will be proportionally kept. The first 2 weeks, find the ideal KH level for your reef aquarium light spectrum based on calcium consumption. In other words, please dose equal parts to keep calcium stable between 380-420ppm and then test your KH to find your Ideal KH level between 7.2-8.5dKH. Try to use the same KH tester and keep it constant.
Example 1: If you are dosing equal parts from each to keeping KH at 7.5 and your calcium is going down, raise your dosage to increase and keep KH at 7.7 and check calcium again. Repeat if needed. Once you find the ideal KH level for your tank, you don’t need to test calcium often.
Example 2: If you are dosing equal parts from each to keeping KH at 8 and your calcium is going up, lower your dosage to decrease and keep KH at 7.8 and check calcium again. Repeat if needed. Once you find the ideal KH level for your tank, you don’t need to test calcium often.
