Seachem Alkaline Buffer 70g

Description

Seachem Alkaline Buffer 70g — Phosphate-Free Carbonate Hardness (KH), pH & Alkalinity Increaser for planted aquariums with delicate aquatic species

Seachem Alkaline Buffer 70g (SKU: 724986-234) is a non-phosphate buffer designed to raise pH and alkalinity (carbonate hardness / KH) in freshwater aquariums. Phosphate-based buffers can trigger stubborn nuisance algae growth in planted tanks or aquariums with high lighting. Alkaline Buffer avoids this by using a soft sodium bicarbonate-based chemistry, making it ideal for planted aquariums and delicate species.

Seachem Alkaline Buffer is a phosphate-free solution designed to safely raise and stabilise pH in freshwater aquariums, ideal for species that thrive in alkaline environments. With a dose rate of 1 teaspoon (5 grams) per 80 litres, it ensures stable pH levels and can be used daily until the desired pH is reached.

Alkaline Buffer safely raises pH and stabilises it between 7.2 and 8.5. When used in combination with Seachem Acid Buffer, aquarists can target and maintain a specific pH value. This allows for precise control over water chemistry without risking sudden pH crashes.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Planted Tank Buffering: Ideal for planted tanks where phosphate buffers could cause unwanted algae blooms.

• Low KH Water Adjustment: Perfect for raising carbonate hardness (KH) in soft tap water or reverse osmosis (RO) water.

Dosing & Application Guide

• To raise pH: Add 1 teaspoon (6 g) for every 80 L (20 US gallons) daily until desired pH is achieved.

• To target a specific pH: Combine with Seachem Acid Buffer following the ratio table provided on the product label.
