Aqua-pics Kh+7.0 Buffer 8kg

Description

Aqua-pics Kh+7.0 Buffer 8kg — Wholesale-grade neutral buffer for large aquarium operations

Pet shops, wholesalers and large aquaculture set-ups treat water by the thousands of litres, and buying a buffer in retail-size packs to cover that volume stops making sense long before the shelf space does. Aqua-pics Kh+7.0 Buffer 8kg (SKU: 100927) is the 8 kg size of Aqua-Pics’ neutral buffer, raising carbonate hardness (KH), adjusting pH up or down as required, and locking it at around 7.0 across a large operation’s worth of tanks. Correcting KH rather than only shifting pH removes the stressful, damaging fluctuation that pH-only products leave behind, supporting fish health and longer life at a scale a retail pot was never built for. The formula contains chemically clean phosphates, which Aqua-Pics states are selected so as not to add meaningfully to algae growth, and 8 kg suits a wholesale operation, large retailer or substantial fish room.

The dose rate is unchanged from the smaller packs: one level teaspoon, about 5 g, per 10 L of aquarium water, raising KH by roughly 8 dKH (143 ppm) and stabilising pH near 7.0 per application. An 8 kg bag holds about 1,600 of those doses, equivalent to roughly 16,000 L of treated water, enough to carry a wholesale or large retail system through an extended operating period without reordering. As a general-purpose neutral buffer rather than the goldfish-specific product in the range, it suits any freshwater system, from holding tanks to breeding racks, that needs a stable mid pH rather than a slightly alkaline one. The line runs from 120 g up to 4 kg below this size, and up to a 16 kg bag beyond it.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Wholesale and retail holding systems: High-turnover stock tanks needing consistent pH.
• Large fish rooms: Operations running well beyond a hobby-scale number of tanks.
• Reducing per-litre cost: Bulk buying where the saving over retail packs is substantial.
• Standardising water chemistry: One buffering routine applied across a whole facility.

Dosing & Administration Guide

• Weigh for every batch: Use a scale rather than teaspoon measures at this volume.
• Pre-dissolve in bulk containers: Mix weighed batches into water before dosing individual systems.
• Dose to measured volume: Calculate each system’s real water volume before scaling the dose.
• Monitor across the facility: Check KH and pH at several points rather than one tank only.
