pH+ - FAQ

What is pH+?
pH+ is a liquid supplement designed to increase both pH and alkalinity in marine and freshwater aquariums.

What does pH+ do?
It raises pH while also increasing alkalinity, helping stabilize overall water chemistry.

When should pH+ be used?
It is used when aquarium pH is consistently low and alkalinity needs to be increased to support stability.

What types of aquariums can use pH+?
It is suitable for both marine and freshwater aquariums.

How does pH+ differ from other pH products?
Unlike products that only raise pH, pH+ also increases alkalinity, helping improve buffering capacity.

Why is alkalinity important when adjusting pH?
Alkalinity stabilizes pH and prevents sudden swings that can stress aquarium inhabitants.

What pH range is ideal for marine aquariums?
A typical range is about 8.1 to 8.5, which supports healthy marine organisms.

What alkalinity range should be maintained?
Maintaining alkalinity between approximately 7 and 12 dKH helps keep pH stable.

How is pH+ used?
It is added directly to aquarium water in measured doses based on system size and needs.

Should pH be tested before dosing?
Yes, testing pH and alkalinity ensures proper dosing and prevents overcorrection.

Can pH+ be used daily?
It can be used as needed, depending on how quickly pH and alkalinity are consumed.

Can pH+ be overdosed?
Yes, excessive dosing can raise pH too quickly or too high, which may stress aquarium inhabitants.

How quickly should pH be adjusted?
Changes should be made gradually to avoid sudden stress on fish and corals.

Is pH+ a permanent solution for low pH?
No, it is intended as a temporary solution while identifying and correcting the root cause of low pH.

What causes low pH in aquariums?
Common causes include excess carbon dioxide, poor gas exchange, and low alkalinity.

Does pH naturally fluctuate in aquariums?
Yes, pH typically drops at night and rises during the day due to photosynthesis cycles.

Can pH+ support coral growth?
Yes, maintaining proper pH and alkalinity supports coral skeletal growth and overall health.

Is pH+ safe for aquarium inhabitants?
Yes, when used as directed and with proper monitoring, it is safe for fish, corals, and invertebrates.

Can pH+ be used with other supplements?
Yes, it can be used alongside calcium, magnesium, and alkalinity supplements to maintain balanced chemistry.

What results can I expect from using pH+?
Improved pH stability, increased alkalinity, healthier coral growth, and a more stable aquarium environment.
