{"product_id":"kh-buffer-powder-1200g","title":"Aquaforest KH Buffer 1200g","description":"\u003cp\u003eAquaforest KH Buffer is a concentrated powdered alkalinity supplement that raises and holds your tank's dKH without affecting other element levels. Alkalinity drives calcification, the process corals use to build their calcium carbonate skeletons, so stable KH is essential for healthy SPS, LPS, and soft coral growth. As a dry additive it is highly cost effective and, mixed into solution, performs as well as or better than liquid alkalinity products.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart of the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/aquaforest\"\u003eAquaforest\u003c\/a\u003e reef range.
