Marine Buffer Seachem 50 g – Marine pH Stabilization

Marine Buffer is formulated to raise marine pH to 8.3 without the risk of overshooting, even in the case of accidental overdosing.

Unlike simple buffers based on bicarbonate or sodium carbonate, Marine Buffer is a balanced mix of mineral salts specifically designed for seawater chemistry.

Advanced Formulation

Marine Buffer contains sodium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, and potassium salts in the form of carbonates, bicarbonates, chlorides, sulfates, and borates.

The addition of borates significantly improves pH stability, while magnesium limits precipitation phenomena.

Main Features

Working Principle

The total alkalinity of seawater relies mainly on three ions: carbonate, bicarbonate, and borate. Each ion influences pH at a different level.

Marine Buffer is designed to create a buffer system with a pK slightly above 8.3, to compensate for the constant input of bicarbonates during water changes.

This mechanism allows for naturally achieving and maintaining a stable pH of 8.3 in the long term.

Instructions for Use

Add 5 g (about one level teaspoon) per 80 liters of seawater.

Dissolve the dose in at least a glass of fresh water before adding to the aquarium.

This dose also increases alkalinity by about 1 meq/L.

Add daily until pH stabilizes at 8.3, then use every two weeks or once a month for maintenance.

Important Recommendations

Do not mix directly with calcium, magnesium, or strontium supplements.

In case of significant and persistent precipitate after addition, perform a water change before any new use.

The effectiveness of the product increases with regular use.
