AquaMeds Buff It Up 8 lbs. (MPN BiU8)

Buff-it-Up is a product that can help improve the conditions in your pond. It works by boosting the KH (carbonate hardness) in the water, which in turn brings the pH to a safe level. Additionally, Buff-it-Up supports the growth of beneficial bacteria in your pond filter. These bacteria require carbonates and a source of calcium to thrive, which Buff-it-Up provides. The product is gentle, safe, and enhances the overall freshwater environment. There are several benefits to using Buff-it-Up in your pond. Firstly, it can help increase the KH and stabilize the pH, preventing sudden drops in pH that can be harmful to aquatic life. It also improves water clarity and raises carbonate hardness in a safe and effective manner. Another advantage is that it does not enhance algae growth and is free from phosphate and caustic substances. Overall, Buff-it-Up is a reliable solution to boost pH and KH to safe levels in your pond. As for the usage of Buff-it-Up, the amount needed varies depending on the specific pond. There is no set amount for all ponds, and it may take four cups or more of the product for your pond to achieve the desired pH level. It is important to note that Buff-it-Up is gentle, safe, and promotes a healthy freshwater environment. To determine the appropriate amount for your pond, it is recommended to check the total alkalinity and follow the application rates specified for Koi ponds. The ideal total alkalinity range is between 120-240 ppm, and dosage should be repeated to maintain a total alkalinity of 120 or more, without exceeding 400.
