Seachem Marine Buffer

Introduction

Seachem Marine Buffer is a high-quality pH stabilizer designed specifically for marine and reef aquariums. This product is formulated to raise and stabilize the pH level of seawater to the optimal range for marine life, typically between 8.1 and 8.4. With its specialized blend of carbonate and bicarbonate salts, Seachem Marine Buffer ensures that your aquarium’s pH remains consistent, promoting the health of fish, corals, and other invertebrates that rely on stable water conditions. Ideal for both beginner and advanced aquarists, this buffer is an essential tool for maintaining the ideal conditions in marine systems, especially when dealing with pH fluctuations.

Features

• pH Stabilization: Effectively raises and stabilizes the pH of marine aquariums, maintaining it within the ideal range of 8.1 to 8.4 for optimal marine life health.
• Prevents pH Fluctuations: Helps to avoid harmful pH swings that can stress fish, corals, and invertebrates, which are particularly sensitive to sudden changes in pH.
• No Impact on Alkalinity: Unlike other pH-adjusting products, Seachem Marine Buffer maintains natural alkalinity levels, ensuring your tank’s overall water chemistry is balanced.
• Supports Healthy Coral Growth: The product’s formula is designed to support calcium uptake in corals, helping maintain healthy growth and vibrant color.
• Reef-Safe: Safe for use in reef tanks, ensuring that your corals, invertebrates, and live rock are not adversely affected by the product.
• Highly Concentrated: The 250g container provides enough product to treat multiple water volumes, making it both cost-effective and long-lasting.

Usage

• General Dosage:
  • To raise the pH of 100 liters (26 gallons) of seawater by 0.1, add 1 teaspoon (5g) of Seachem Marine Buffer.
  • Dissolve the recommended amount of Marine Buffer in a small amount of water and add it directly to the aquarium. For best results, distribute it evenly around the tank.
• pH Adjustment:
  • When first adjusting the pH, it’s best to monitor the water regularly and adjust the dose accordingly until the desired pH is reached.
  • For precise control, check your pH levels daily until the pH stabilizes within the desired range of 8.1 to 8.4.
• Maintenance:
  • After initial adjustment, use the buffer as needed to maintain stable pH. Frequent testing and periodic adjustments may be necessary, especially in systems with heavy biological load or regular water changes.
  • Perform partial water changes as needed, and recheck the pH after changes to ensure that the buffer remains effective.

Available Sizes

• 250G – Ideal for smaller to medium-sized marine aquariums. Provides enough treatment for tanks up to 1000 liters (264 gallons) depending on your pH adjustment needs.

Recommendations

• Routine pH Maintenance: Regular use of Seachem Marine Buffer can help you maintain stable pH levels in marine aquariums, preventing the stress that often accompanies pH fluctuations.
• Ideal for Reef Tanks: This product is especially beneficial for reef aquariums, where maintaining stable pH levels is crucial for coral and invertebrate health.
• Monitor Regularly: While Seachem Marine Buffer helps maintain pH, it’s essential to regularly monitor your tank’s pH levels, especially during water changes or after adding new livestock.
• Combine with Other Seachem Products: For comprehensive water chemistry management, combine Seachem Marine Buffer with Seachem’s Marine Alkalinity and Calcium supplements for balanced water conditions that support optimal growth and health of marine organisms.
