Seachem Reef Buffer
Seachem Reef Buffer (250g)
Seachem Reef Buffer raises and maintains marine aquarium pH at the optimal reef range of 8.3, the level naturally found in healthy tropical reef ecosystems. It also raises KH/alkalinity, providing the buffering capacity that corals require for stable calcium carbonate deposition (skeleton growth). Unlike two-part supplements that raise alkalinity and calcium separately, Reef Buffer delivers a rapid pH and KH correction in a single dose — ideal for tanks that need a boost after water changes or pH dips during nighttime algae photosynthesis cycles. Safe for all reef inhabitants including stony corals, soft corals, clams, and invertebrates.
