Product details
Seachem Dry Marine Buffer 250g (346) is a marine aquarium pH buffer designed to raise and help maintain saltwater pH at 8.3. It’s a blended buffering product intended for reef and fish-only systems, supporting more stable pH management by using a mix of carbonate/bicarbonate/borate buffering components rather than relying on a single base. In practice, it’s used to counter swings that can occur from salt mix chemistry (especially bicarbonate content) and water changes, and it can be paired with testing to verify results.
Features:
- Raises and helps maintain marine pH to 8.3
- Blended buffer designed to avoid pH overshoot above 8.3, even with accidental overdosing
- Contains borate to add stability to the marine buffering system
- Contains magnesium to help alleviate precipitation effects
- Includes multiple relevant ions/salts (sodium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, and potassium salts of carbonate, bicarbonate, chloride, sulfate, and borate)
- Not simply sodium bicarbonate or sodium carbonate; it uses a blended approach to target and hold pH
- Use test results to confirm performance (Seachem MultiTest™ Marine pH & Alkalinity)
