    This product raises pH to 8.3 on a heartbeat. I use it every time I add RO water to bring back the pH to 8.2-8.3. Im a happy camper:)

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

    This stuff is pure trash! Have been trying to make the ph stay at 8.2 for a week now in my Fluval Evo 11. This crap only raises the ph to 8.2 for a few hours then it goes back down to 7.4. Used RO water and Red Sea salt as directed. Still NO luck. Dont waist you money on this garbage.... I kept a 150 gallon reef for 12 years back in the 90s, I used GH ph-up and always had 8.2 with just a few drops of it and it stayed for 3 weeks at a time. :). Going to order another bottle of it soon as this review is done. Yes it is for hydroponics but it works GREAT in a reef and is safe. Just use an eye dropper.

    The more you have the better

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.
