It actually not a bright well product, it’s called balance by aquavitro. But I actually haven’t used it yet because I added saltwater to my tank after acclimating fish and using tank water to dip corals and my ph was back up to an 8.As noted above there is no such thing. It is simply chemically impossible.
Some products claim it, such as Brightwell Boost pH+, but it can only be due to one of two things:
1. Total ignorance on their part. They actually sell the same exact ingredient (hydroxide) in a different product (kalkwasser) and claim it boosts alk)
or
2. a scam designed to mislead reefers.
Neither gives one a reason to ever buy Brightwell products.
Their Boost pH+ nonsense:
Brightwell Aquatics - Boost pH+
brightwellaquatics.com
"Boost pH+ High Range pH Increaser, raises pH only without increasing alkalinity or calcium (in tanks already having a proper dKH)
"Contains caustic sodium and potassium hydroxides in a proprietary base"
Their kalkwasser (has its own nonsense, but is correct about hydroxide adding alk):
Brightwell Aquatics - Kalk+2
brightwellaquatics.com
" Calcium hydroxide is a caustic material;"
"Provides temporary alkalinity and helps maintain pH within the desired range when used as directed."
