Description
Maintain a thriving aquatic environment with Seachem Alkaline Buffer, an advanced non-phosphate powder formulated specifically to raise and stabilize pH and carbonate hardness in freshwater and planted aquariums. Traditional buffers often rely on phosphates, which frequently lead to unwanted algae blooms and cloudy water.
This specialized formula utilizes a balanced blend of sodium, potassium, magnesium, and other bicarbonate salts to target a stable pH range between 7.2 and 8.5 without contributing to algae growth. It is exceptionally gentle and safe for live plants and fish, enhancing overall water chemistry.
Whether you are managing hard water or pairing it with Acid Buffer to lock in an exact target pH, this authentic USA-imported water treatment provides professional-grade reliability for hobbyists.
How to use
- Add 1 level teaspoon (approximately 6 grams) for every 80 liters (20 US gallons) daily until your target pH is reached.
