Product Description
AquaForest KH Buffer - 5KG
AquaForest KH Buffer - 5KG is a bulk reef alkalinity supplement for maintaining carbonate hardness in high-demand coral aquariums, larger reef systems, and regular dosing routines.
AquaForest KH Buffer Bulk Alkalinity Supplement
The 5KG format is suited to aquariums with steady KH consumption from SPS, LPS, mixed reef corals, clams, coralline algae, and other calcifying organisms. It helps maintain stable alkalinity and pH when used with consistent testing and a dosing schedule matched to daily reef demand.
Large Format KH Support for Coral Systems
- Bulk carbonate hardness supplement for ongoing reef aquarium dosing.
- Helps maintain stable KH and reduce pH instability caused by low alkalinity.
- Supports coral calcification and overall reef chemistry balance.
- Useful for larger tanks, high-consumption SPS systems, and frequent dosing solution preparation.
- Can be used for regular dosing or carefully measured one-time KH correction.
- Fast-dissolving dry format is practical for mixing with RODI water.
- Pairs with AquaForest Calcium, Magnesium, and Reef Mineral Salt in balanced supplementation systems.

Bulk KH Dosing and Stability Notes
KH should be adjusted slowly and verified with reliable testing. Large reef aquariums can consume alkalinity quickly, but sudden increases are still risky for corals. Mix only what you can dose accurately, keep solution containers labelled, and refine the dose from actual consumption rather than guessing.
AquaForest Bulk KH Buffer Directions
- Measure current KH before dosing or mixing a new solution.
- Dissolve 80 g of KH Buffer in 1000 ml of RODI water.
- Dose according to water test results and the aquarium’s daily KH consumption.
- Use the manufacturer reference that 100 ml of prepared solution raises KH in 100 L by about 2.6 dKH.
- Avoid raising KH by more than 0.5 dKH per day.
- Retest after adjustments and update the dosing schedule gradually.
