    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.

    If you need your pH buffered, this is the way to go. Seachem never disappoints. Im thinking about trying it in my coffee instead of crème.

    I love it just measure both ph and kh and you will be good also very saturated!! Even for 32 gallons of aquarium water!!

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

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

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.
