Seachem Marine Aquarium pH Buffer, 1 kg – Targets pH 8.3

Seachem Marine Buffer is a marine aquarium pH buffer designed to raise pH to 8.3, with a formula that will not raise pH above 8.3 even if inadvertently overdosed.

• Raises marine pH to 8.3 — supports a defined pH target for marine aquariums.
• Will not raise pH above 8.3, even with inadvertent overdose — provides a stated upper limit for pH adjustment.
• Suitable for reef tanks — can be used in marine reef aquariums.
• Includes borate — contributes added stability to the buffer.
• Includes magnesium — helps alleviate precipitation effects.

Maintaining a suitable pH is part of managing a marine aquarium, including a reef tank. Seachem Marine Buffer is made for that pH-adjustment role, with a stated target of 8.3 and a formula that sets an upper limit. The 1 kg (2.2 lbs) size provides the buffer in a single package for aquarium keepers who want a marine-specific blend rather than a single carbonate compound.

What pH is Seachem Marine Buffer designed to reach?

Seachem Marine Buffer is designed to raise marine pH to 8.3 and not above that level, even if it is inadvertently overdosed. This makes the product’s stated pH target clear for marine aquarium use. The buffer is formulated for adjusting marine pH, rather than for treating a particular aquarium condition or disease.

• Marine pH target: 8.3.
• Its upper pH limit is 8.3, including in the event of inadvertent overdose.

How is Marine Buffer different from simple carbonate products?

Seachem Marine Buffer is a blend, not simply sodium bicarbonate or sodium carbonate. Those compounds are commonly sold as substitutes, but they can raise pH to dangerous levels if they are not used properly. The blended formula includes several kinds of salts, giving the product a broader composition than either of those individual compounds.

• Contains salts of carbonate and bicarbonate.
• Also includes chloride, sulfate, and borate salts.

Can Seachem Marine Buffer be used in reef tanks, and what is in it?

Yes, Seachem Marine Buffer can be used safely in reef tanks. Its ingredients include sodium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, and potassium salts, along with the carbonate, bicarbonate, chloride, sulfate, and borate components. Borate contributes added stability, while magnesium helps alleviate precipitation effects.

• Mineral components include sodium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, and potassium.
• The package size is 1 kg (2.2 lbs).

Seachem Marine Buffer is suited to marine aquarium keepers who want a buffer with a defined pH target, including reef tank owners. It is a marine pH buffer with a blended salt formula and a stated upper limit of 8.3.
