Seachem Reef Builder – Carbonate Alkalinity Enhancer for Reef Aquariums (300g)
Seachem Reef Builder is a specialized buffer designed to raise carbonate alkalinity (KH) in reef aquariums without immediately affecting pH. Over time, it helps stabilize pH around 8.3, creating a more stable and healthy environment for corals and marine life.
Unlike bicarbonate-only products, Reef Builder uses a blend of carbonate sources that do not lower pH. It also avoids depleting calcium, magnesium, or strontium—minerals essential for coral growth. Reef Builder is ideal for reef systems with high alkalinity consumption and can be used alongside Seachem Reef Buffer for complete pH and alkalinity control.
Key Features:
– Raises carbonate alkalinity (KH) with minimal pH impact
– Stabilizes pH around 8.3 with regular use
– Will not deplete calcium, magnesium, or strontium
– Safe for all marine fish, corals, and invertebrates
– Compatible with Reef Buffer for dual-stage control

Directions for Use:
Use 3 g (½ level teaspoon) per 150 L (40 US gallons) twice a week. Dissolve in at least 250 mL (1 cup) of freshwater before adding to the tank. Each dose raises alkalinity by 0.25 meq/L. Do not exceed 12 g per 150 L per day. Monitor alkalinity regularly and adjust dosage as needed.
