DescriptionReef Buffer will also raise carbonate alkalinity; however, it is intended primarily for use as a buffer in a reef system where the maintenance of a pH of 8.3 is often difficult. When pH is not an issue, Reef Builder or Reef Carbonate should be your first choice for a carbonate alkalinity supplement. Reef Buffer is specifically designed to meet the needs and requirements of the closed reef environment. The principal difference between Reef Buffer and Marine Buffer is that the pK of Reef Buffer is slightly higher than that of Marine Buffer. The pK of a buffering agent is equivalent to the pH around which that buffer most strongly buffers. One would presume, then, that the pK of a saltwater buffer should be 8.3; however, the multitude of organic acids produced by the inhabitants of a reef system forces pH downward to a much greater degree than in a non-reef, marine system. A buffer with a pK of 8.3 would end up yielding a pH more in the range of 8.0-8.2. Reef Buffer's higher pK (8.6) allows for greater pH stability in a reef system where the bio load is significantly more than in a fish only system.

I was really hopeful about the Seachem Reef Buffer, but it only kept my pH stable for a couple of weeks before I noticed fluctuations again. I followed the instructions carefully, but it just didn't hold up as expected.

Easy to use and effective
This buffer is super easy to add to my tank. Just scoop and mix! I noticed a big improvement in my water quality after starting to use the Seachem Reef Buffer. Definitely a staple in my routine now.

Corals love it!
My reef tank has never looked better since using this buffer. My corals have really perked up and the water chemistry seems spot on. A must-have if you're serious about reef keeping!

Packaging issues on arrival
I was excited to try the Seachem Reef Buffer, but it arrived with a dented container. Everything inside was fine, but still a bit disappointing. The product itself works well, so I’m happy about that, at least.

Great for my reef tank!
I've been using Seachem Reef Buffer for a few months now, and I love how it keeps my tank's pH stable. The 250 grams is a solid amount for a small to medium-sized reef setup. My corals are thriving!
