....l'americano è on line...ma proprio on line..-05-05-05...vi riporto la sua risposta integrale quasi immediata..mi sembra interessante.... e anche la mia successiva perchè non mi è chiara una cosa....scusatemi per il mio inglese....ma l'importante è capirsi.....

Kent Tech CB part A and B and Nano Part A and B are a calcium buffer and carbonate buffer. Part A is the Calcium buffer and Part B is a Carbonate buffer.

Part A has the following:

CALCIUM CHLORIDE (010043-4) < 10
MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE (7786-3) < 25
POTASSIUM CHLORIDE (7447-40-7) < 10
STRONTIUM CHLORIDE (10025-4) < 10
As well as a bunch of minor trace elements.

Part B has the following:
CARBONIC ACID, DISODIUM SALT COMPOUND WITH HYDROGEN PEROXIDE (497-8) <
0 - 20
CARBONIC ACID, MONOSODIUM SALT (144-8) < 0 - 20

The disodium is Sodium Bicarbonate and the monosodium is Sodium Carbonate.
Tech M has Magnesium Sulfate in it as well. The high concentration mixed with either part A or B will cause a reaction. They can only be mixed together in certain concentrations and in a certain order and time frame. Just not a good idea to mix them. It won’t hurt anything in the tank, but you would just be wasting money and chemicals.

sostanzialmente a parte l'interessante composizione (che non ho mai notato se è riportata nelle confezioni..) ribadisce che il magnesio nel kent va a immobilzzarsi in carbonati....alla vasca non succede nulla ma si buttano via integratori e soldi...ma sopratutto dice che gli A e i B sono i buffer.
Ma noi non abbiamo sempre detto che i buffer sono quelli che servono per far crescere i valori di ca e kh singolarmente per poi mantenerli con A + B ??????

quindi la mia risposta con ulteriore domanda....

Sorry Rob,
in my knowledges, probably mistaken, KENT turbo CAlcium buffer e KENT dk proBuffer are “BUFFER” to improve calcium and kh to optimum level.
This to start a new tank. After I can use or a calcium reactor, medium or big tank, or Ca and kh integrators like KENT tech CB A and KENT tech CB B (or nanoreef A+B) to stabilization value in a small tank with very low adsorption rate and very little sump.
It’s correct?
Why do you say this “Kent Tech CB part A and B and Nano Part A and B are a calcium buffer and carbonate buffer. Part A is the Calcium buffer and Part B is a Carbonate buffer.”?

Nevertheless, my use of tech A + B is correct?
I’m dosing daily with dosing pump, while the turbo calcium buffer and dk probuffer I dosed only to reach the optimum level at start of the tank or when the Ca or kh level is lowing.
I’m right?

...e che devo dirvi..mi ha già risposto....-28

"The part A and B can be used to either boost or maintain levels depending on how much you use. If you are using it to maintain your calcium and/or carbonate levels then it is being used as a buffer. The Kent Turbo Calcium is dry Calcium Chloride granules which is the same thing used in the Part A. Super dKH buffer is Sodium Bicarbonate, Sodium Carbonate, and Sodium Tetraborate, so basically the part B is Super dKH buffer (minus the tetraborate) dissolved in deionized water.

Your use of the A and B is correct. When you are dealing with nano reefs it is easy to over dose one element over another and throw the system out of balance. Using the part A and B allows you to keep the water chemistry in somewhat of a balance while not having to dose a whole bunch of different products. If you notice one of the levels (such as calcium) getting too low then you can dose with turbo calcium so that calcium is the only thing you are boosting up. In larger systems the water chemistry is easier to keep fairly stable (there is no such thing as perfectly stable in an aquarium, or in the wild for that matter).
