Carbonate Hardness Control for Reef Stability

ASF KH / Alkalinity Booster Powder is a concentrated carbonate supplement designed to increase and stabilize alkalinity (KH) in reef aquariums.
Alkalinity directly affects coral calcification, pH stability, and biological processes.

Low or unstable alkalinity is one of the most common causes of poor coral growth and tissue loss. This powder allows accurate KH correction, especially in systems with high daily consumption.

The ideal alkalinity range is 7–9 dKH.

Key Benefits

  • Restores and stabilizes alkalinity (KH)

  • Supports coral growth and calcification

  • Helps maintain stable pH

  • Powder format enables fine KH adjustments

  • Ideal for SPS-dominant reef systems

  • Cost-effective for medium to large aquariums

Directions for Use

  • Dissolve powder in RO/DI water before use

  • Add slowly to a high-flow area of the aquarium or sump

  • Adjust dosing based on alkalinity test results

  • Do not raise alkalinity by more than 1 dKH per day

  • Monitor calcium and magnesium during adjustments

Reef Shot and Booster Powders are not competitors—they are tools for different strategies.
Reef Shot excels in daily stability, while powders shine in correction, scaling, and precision control. Advanced reef keepers often use both.
