When used as directed, Reef Buffer will raise the pH to desired levels. With this easy-to-use formula, there is no fear of accidentally over-correcting the pH to a dangerous level. Reef Buffer, a blended product, also raises carbonate alkalinity. Seachem \nReef Builder should be used to raise alkalinity when pH is not a problem. 250 grams treats 2,000 gallons.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\u003cstrong\u003eDirections\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nCheck pH and alkalinity before use.\u003cbr\u003e\nUse 5 grams (1 level teaspoon) for every 40 gallons to raise pH by about 0.1 pH units (this will also raise alkalinity by about 0.5 meq\/L). \n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\nDissolve in at least one cup of freshwater, and then add to the aquarium.

To restore ionic balance perform a water change or adjust the magnesium and calcium levels to approximately 3:1 Mg:Ca (calcium does not need to exceed 400 mg\/L).\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDO NOT OVERDOSE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excess alkalinity may enhance the loss of calcium, magnesium, and strontium.
