    Worked as advertised.

    Always keep your parameters in check and consistent... When using a pH buffer make sure your alkalinity does not go too high though or your wet pets will not be happy.

    Works great and you cant add too much by mistake -The PH doesnt go higher than 8.3

    Love this product, I use it on saltwater and freshwater tanks.

    It definitely buffers your water, however if your calcium and magnesium ratios (1:3) arent correct, you will be left with a cloudy tank.

    As described

    Works like a charm. Dissolves easily and maintains for extended period of time.

    Great for raising KH and PH, not so much for Ca. My Ca levels are much lower while my KH is off the charts...

Reef 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.
