Seachem Marine Buffer 250grams

The pH in my marine aquarium went from 7.8 to 8.3 and has remained stable for 2 weeks. I may add that I used one half the suggested dosage.

Starting a new aquarium I was trying to get the pH to be between 8 and 8.5, so I used Seachem alkaline buffer that I had on hand already. It just could not get the pH past 8. Mixing it in a new gallon of distilled water, the best pH it could get without any acid buffer, but shaken thoroughly with marine salt, was a pH of 7.8 maybe 7.9. I even tried extreme dosage just to see what pH it could get to, and no better. So, I decided it was useless for my new brackish aquarium so I went with marine buffer instead. This stuff works, 1/8th a teaspoon brought my distilled gallon of water to a pH of 8.3 and a KH of 10 (including 4.5 Tbsp of marine salt and some Bee Shrimp Mineral GH+). Next gallon I will maybe use 1/16th of buffer to have less KH and see how the pH is, but for now I just needed the one supplemental gallon.

If you follow the directions and use it consistently you will get good results.

Don’t use if you don’t want your alkalinity raised as well.

I would say this definitely did it's job, but it boosted my PH in both tanks extremely fast, so use sparingly especially if you have a smaller tank. I followed the directions in both my reef aquariums, and it boosted the pH a little too well. All of my corals and fish are doing much better with the balanced PH, but I will be using less than directed in the future to maintain because it worked so well. I love all of the Seachem products

My marine tank water had a low pH of 7.8 and after using this for a week my pH is 8.3 and I couldn’t be happier.

It works fantastically, and is just as advertised.

I used this according to the instructions and it raised my ph to the perfect level.
