My Tank Thread
I'd like to suggest that you drop the Brightwell product Boost pH+ from your product line since it is misleading consumers about what it can do.
Clearly, it cannot do what you (on your web site) and they claim.
https://www.saltwateraquarium.com/boost-ph-increaser-250-ml-brightwell/
"High Range pH Increaser deals with excess CO2, raises pH only without increasing alkalinity or calcium (in tanks already having a proper dKH)"
"Warning: Contains caustic sodium and potassium hydroxides;"
So, the product contains hydroxide (the actual active ingredient), and yet does not increase alkalinity.
That is, of course, simply not true, as folks supplementing calcium and alkalinity using kalkwasser can attest.
Hydroxide instantly boosts alkalinity.
Please either drop this product, or have Brightwell change their label and their advertising copy on your sales web site.
