    THIS PRODUCT IS GREAT. IT CONTROLS THE PH AND HOLDS IT AT 8.3. I HAVE BEEN USING IT FOR ABOUT 7 YEARS AND WILL CONTINUE TO USE IT.

    Works great. the salt mix is suppose to have a buffer in if for you to get your ph up. mine continued to fall and this helped mantain it while i discovered the reason for the constant problem of ph. It was my magnesium levels so once that got fixed the tank ran and i no longer needed the supplement. But when i Used it it worked great

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

    pay attention at all your chemistry this can increase other traces like Kh to dangers lvls, you have to test magnesium and Calcium well test everything... A week ago my KH was at 23 wile my PH was at 8. Now with 2 water changes #1, 20% #2 50% and tests my PH its at 8.4 and KH 15. So do test and dont add more that this product recommend its very strong.

    It raises my ph as it should, not a permanent solution though.

    I cant get my Ph and Alk to rize. This did not help.

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.
