Description
Alkalinity+ with Trace is a carefully formulated solution designed to safely raise alkalinity while providing essential trace elements for your reef tank. It works best when used in combination with Calcium+ with Trace and Magnesium+ with Trace, together delivering 18 different trace elements to support overall coral health and vibrant growth. When added, 1 mL per 100 liters (26 gallons) will increase alkalinity by approximately 0.1 dKH. Maintaining stable alkalinity levels between 8–9 dKH helps corals build strong skeletons, promotes vibrant coloration, and supports a healthy, balanced reef ecosystem.
Dosing Guidelines
- Standard Dose: 1 mL per 100 liters (26 gallons) → increases alkalinity by ~0.1 dKH
- Recommended Levels: Maintain 8–9 dKH for optimal coral growth
- Adjust Gradually: Test your water regularly and dose slowly to avoid sudden swings
- Combination Use: Best results when paired with Calcium+ with Trace and Magnesium+ with Trace, providing a complete suite of trace elements
Application Tips
- Dose into your sump or a high-flow area for even distribution
- Avoid concentrated direct dosing into display tanks to prevent irritation
- Automated dosing systems help maintain consistent and safe alkalinity levels
- Regular testing ensures your tank stays balanced for coral growth and overall reef health
Benefits of Stable Alkalinity
- Supports strong skeletal growth in corals and invertebrates
- Promotes vibrant coloration and enhanced coral health
- Maintains stable pH and overall water chemistry
- Reduces stress on livestock caused by sudden alkalinity fluctuations
Community Benefits
Using Alkalinity+ with Trace as part of a full routine with Calcium+ with Trace and Magnesium+ with Trace helps establish a thriving reef community. Balanced alkalinity and a full complement of trace elements encourage robust coral growth, healthy fish, and stable microfauna, creating a resilient and visually stunning reef tank.

- Keep out of reach of children
- Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing; wear gloves and eye protection
- In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water for 15 minutes and seek medical advice if irritation persists
- Contains trace elements; handle with care
Best Used When
- Your tank alkalinity drifts below 8 dKH
- You want to maintain stable chemistry for optimal coral growth
- Complementing Calcium+ with Trace and Magnesium+ with Trace for full trace element support
- As part of your regular reef nutrient and mineral management routine

Calculation Results
Calculation Algorithm
This calculator uses the following formula to determine the required solution volume:
Solution Volume (L) = (Target dKH - Current dKH) × Water Volume (L) ÷ Solution Strength (dKH per 100L)
Dosing recommendations are based on safe alkalinity increase rates: single dose for increases ≤5% of tank volume, split doses for larger increases to prevent pH swings.
Calcium+
Calcium+ is a premium reef supplement designed to maintain strong coral growth and vibrant skeletal development by replenishing essential calcium levels in your aquarium. Enriched with carefully balanced trace elements, it not only supports healthy stony coral and clam growth but also helps maintain overall reef stability. Regular dosing of Calcium+ ensures your reef inhabitants receive the vital building blocks they need for natural coloration, resilience, and long-term health.
Magnesium+
Magnesium+ is a balanced reef supplement formulated to stabilise calcium and alkalinity levels while promoting optimal coral health. By replenishing essential magnesium along with vital trace elements, it helps prevent fluctuations that stress corals and supports strong skeletal growth. Regular use of Magnesium+ enhances natural coloration, boosts resilience, and ensures your reef system maintains the stability it needs to thrive.
