Seachem Reef Buffer 250g

Product details

Seachem Reef Buffer 250g (676) is a reef aquarium buffering additive designed to help stabilize seawater pH and support carbonate alkalinity. In practical use, it’s intended for reef systems where pH tends to drift downward from reef bioload, helping bring alkalinity and pH into a more stable range when dosed according to the directions on the label.

Features:

• Helps raise pH of reef systems to about 8.3 when used as directed
• Raises carbonate alkalinity along with pH
• Uses a blend of carbonate and bicarbonate salts rather than sodium bicarbonate alone
• Buffer performance is built around a higher pK (about 8.6), which is intended to improve pH stability in reef environments with higher bioload
• Designed to support reef-system buffering behavior where reef inhabitants produce organic acids that can push pH downward
• When pH is not the limiting factor, carbonate alkalinity supplementation can be prioritized with other Seachem products such as Reef Builder or Reef Carbonate
