KH-Booster is a product, especially developed to increase the carbonate hardness in every saltwater and freshwater aquarium.
KH-Booster lastingly promotes nitrification and healthy coral growth, with a special mix of various elements, to quickly and safely increase the carbonate hardness.
Use KH-Booster in combination with our pH care products, to adjust your water values.

Dosage:
Add one level measuring spoon to 100 liters of water to increase the KH value by 2.5 dH°.
The optimum KH value in seawater is 6-10 dH°. In fresh water, this depends on the stocking of the aquarium.
- During the nitrification process, bacteria can break down the dangerous ammonium/ammonia only if the carbonate hardness is sufficiently high; it should have a value of at least 3 dH° in freshwater and 6 dH° in saltwater.
- Sufficiently high carbonate hardness permanently stabilises the pH value.
- Check your water values regularly.
- dH° = German degree of hardness
Carbonate hardness accelerates the nitrification
During the nitrification process, bacteria can break down the dangerous ammonium/ammonia only if the carbonate hardness is sufficiently high, as the nitrifying bacteria use this as fuel. It should have a value of at least 3 dH° in freshwater and 6 dH° in saltwater.
