Your aquarium (net volume of water in litres)		l
Increase in carbonate hardness by approx. 1 °dKH	3 g per 100 L of water	g

BASIC stock solution (1 liter):
Pour 85 g in a measuring beaker and fill it with osmosis water to the 1 liter mark. 35 ml of this stock solution added to 100 liters of aquarium water increase the alkalinity by approx. 1° dKH.

Dosage of direct addition:
Add 3 g to 100 liters of water in your sump to increase the alkalinity

The daily added amount depends on the consumption, therefore you should check the carbonate hardness regularly in your aquarium.
