Marine Buffer will safely raise marine pH to 8.3. It will not raise pH above 8.3 even if inadvertently overdosed. Marine Buffer is a blended product and is not just sodium bicarbonate or sodium carbonate, commonly sold as a substitute.
KEY FEATURES:
Raises and maintains pH at 8.3 in all saltwater aquariums
Can be used safely in reef tanks
Contains borate for added stability
Contains magnesium to alleviate precipitation effects
DIRECTIONS:
Add 5g (1Level teaspoon) for each 80L (20 USgallons). Dissolve in atLeast one cup of freshwater. This dose will also raise alkalinity by about 1 meq/L. Add daily until pH stabilizes at 8.3. This will take from a day to a week, depending on original pH and alkalinity. Thereafter, use biweekly or monthly to maintain a pH of 8.3.
