Reef buffer Seachem

Reef Buffer ™ is specifically produced to meet the requirements of the reef aquarium.

The PK of a buffer substance is equivalent to the pH around which the buffer is more correct. You should assume that the PK of a saltwater buffer should be 8.3, however, the multitude of organic acids produced by the inhabitants of the Aquarium reef force the pH down, to very higher degrees than those present in the marine aquarium. A pad with PK of 8.3 would end up producing a pH between 8.0-8.2.

Reef Buffer ™ has highest PK (8.6), which allows stability for a higher pH in a REEF aquarium where biotope is much more important than one with only one fish.

Instructions for Use

Check the pH and carbonate hardness in advance. A ran teaspoon 5 gr (loose previously in a glass of fresh water) every 150 liters, raises the pH of about 0.1 (at the same time the hardness will grow by about 0.5 MEQ / L). The natural marine water pH is 8.25 - 8.30. In a reef aquarium that works well, pH correction can take place twice a week or in the middle of the week. The dosage can vary, but do not exceed the doses indicated without having controlled pH and hardness (no more than 6 meq / l). If a hardness of 6 MEQ / L does not correspond a pH of at least 8.20, or there is a substantial turbidity that does not disappear within 15 minutes, it means that the system is not ionically balanced. To retrieve the ion balance, carry out a change of water or move the magnesium and calcium level respectively at 3 (mg) against 1 (CA). (Football should not exceed 400 mg / lt.).

Do not supervise: excessive hardness can cause a loss of calcium, magnesium and strontium. Do not mix directly with other calcium, magnesium and strontium supplements.
