Seachem Marine Buffer – pH Stabilizer for Saltwater Aquariums (300g)
Seachem Marine Buffer is a scientifically blended buffer that safely raises and maintains marine pH at 8.3. Unlike simple sodium bicarbonate or carbonate products, Marine Buffer contains a precise mix of sodium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, and potassium salts of carbonate, bicarbonate, chloride, sulfate, and borate.
This advanced formulation ensures that pH will not exceed 8.3 even if overdosed, making it one of the safest and most effective buffers available for marine aquariums. It also raises alkalinity by approximately 1 meq/L per dose, helping to stabilize water chemistry and prevent dangerous pH swings.
Key Features:
- Raises and maintains pH at 8.3 in saltwater aquariums
- Will not raise pH above 8.3, even if overdosed
- Contains borate for enhanced buffering capacity
- Includes magnesium to reduce precipitation and cloudiness
- Safe for reef tanks, corals, and marine invertebrates
- Improves stability and reduces stress on marine life
