 Marine
Buffer™ will safely raise marine pH to 8.3.
It will not raise pH above 8.3 even if inadvertently
overdosed. Marine Buffer™ is a blended product
and is not just sodium bicarbonate or sodium carbonate,
commonly sold as a substitute. Such products can raise
pH to dangerous levels if not used properly. Marine
Buffer™ contains sodium, magnesium, calcium,
strontium, and potassium salts of carbonate, bicarbonate,
chloride, sulfate, and borate. Use Seachem’s
MultiTest: Marine pH & Alkalinity™ to check
pH and total alkalinity. Use Marine Trace™ to
restore the proper level of trace elements required
by thriving, healthy saltwater fish..

DIRECTIONS:
Add 5 g (1 level teaspoon) for each 80 L
(20 gallons*). Dissolve in at least one cup of
freshwater. This dose will also raise alkalinity
by about 1 meq/L. Add daily until pH stabilizes
at 8.3. This will take from a day to a week, depending
on original pH and alkalinity. Thereafter, use
biweekly or monthly to maintain a pH of 8.3. If
this practice is not adequate, then overstocking,
overfeeding, or other poor management practice
should be sought as a likely cause. In ionically
balanced marine water, Marine Buffer™ produces
little precipitate or cloudiness. If an extensive
precipitate forms upon addition of Marine Buffer™
that does not dissolve within ~15 minutes, then
poor ionic balance was present. A water change
should be initiated when convenient before further
use of the product. Effectiveness improves with
continued use. Do not directly mix with any calcium,
magnesium, or strontium supplement.
