Seachem Reef Buffer 250gm / 8.8oz
Reef Buffer is intended primarily for use in a reef system where the maintenance of a pH of 8.3 is often difficult. When used as directed, Reef Buffer will raise the pH of your reef system to 8.3 without fear of accidentally overshooting the pH to a dangerous level. Reef Buffer will also raise carbonate alkalinity. Reef Buffer is a blended product and is not just sodium carbonate. Reef Builder should be used to raise alkalinity when pH is not a problem. Use Seachem’s MultiTest: Marine pH & Alkalinity to check pH and total alkalinity.

I’ve used Reef Buffer in my 120-gallon reef tank for three months. It consistently maintains pH at 8.3 without spikes. The alkalinity has also stabilized. Easy to measure and dose. Works well with my existing water parameters.

Good product for maintaining stable pH. I added it weekly and noticed no sudden changes. Alkalinity increased slightly, which is what I wanted. Slight delay in effect, but predictable.

My tank had fluctuating pH before. After switching to Reef Buffer, pH stayed steady at 8.3. No overcorrection. I now use it monthly as part of my routine maintenance.
