 Reef
Buffer™ is intended primarily for use in a reef
system where the maintenance of a pH of 8.3 is often
difficult. When used as directed Reef Buffer™
will raise the pH of your reef system to 8.3 without
fear of accidentally overshooting the pH to a dangerous
level. Reef Buffer™ will also raise carbonate
alkalinity. Reef Buffer™ is a blended product
and is not just sodium carbonate. Reef Builder™
should be used to raise alkalinity when pH is not a
problem. Use Seachem’s MultiTest: Marine pH &
Alkalinity™ to check pH and total alkalinity.

DIRECTIONS:
Check pH and alkalinity before use. Use 5 g
(1 level teaspoon) for every 150 L (40
gallons) to raise pH by about 0.1 pH units (this
will also raise alkalinity by about 0.5 meq/L).
Dissolve in at least one cup of freshwater,
then add to the tank. The pH of natural sea
water is 8.25–8.30. In a well established
reef system pH adjustment may be necessary biweekly
to semiweekly. Dosing requirements will vary,
but do not exceed the recommended dose without
checking your pH and alkalinity (alkalinity
should not exceed 6 meq/L). If an alkalinity
of 6 meq/L has been reached and a pH of at least
8.20 has not been attained or substantial cloudiness
that does not clear within 15 minutes is encountered,
then the system is not ionically balanced. To
restore ionic balance perform a water change
or adjust the magnesium and calcium levels to
approximately 3:1 Mg:Ca (calcium does not need
to exceed 400 mg/L).
DO NOT OVERDOSE: Excess alkalinity may enhance
the loss of calcium, magnesium, and strontium.
Do not directly mix with any calcium, magnesium,
or strontium supplement.

Builder™ raises carbonate
alkalinity without immediately impacting on pH. With
long term use there will be a tendency to stabilize
at pH 8.3. Used as directed, Reef Builder™ will
not deplete calcium, magnesium, or strontium which
usually tend to precipitate with increasing alkalinity.

Carbonate™ is a concentrated (4,000
meq/L) optimized blend of carbonate and bicarbonate
salts designed to restore and maintain alkalinity
in the reef aquarium. Calcium and carbonates are essential
to all coral growth. If either becomes deficient,
coral growth will cease, followed by a rapid decline
in coral health. To prevent this you must provide
carbonates (Reef Carbonate™) and calcium (Reef
Advantage Calcium™ or Reef Complete™).
Used as directed, Reef Carbonate™ will not deplete
calcium, magnesium, or strontium which usually tend
to precipitate with increasing alkalinity.
