Marine Buffer will safely raise the marine pH level to 8.3. It will not raise the pH level above 8.3 even if used excessively by mistake. Marine Buffer is a mixed product and not just sodium bicarbonate or sodium carbonate, which are commonly sold as substitutes. Key Features:

• Raises and maintains pH level at 8.3 in all saltwater aquariums
• Can be safely used in reef aquariums
• Contains borates to increase stability
• Contains magnesium to alleviate the effects of deposits

Directions: Add 5 grams (one level teaspoon) for every 80 liters (20 US gallons). Dissolve it in at least one cup of fresh water. This dose will also increase alkalinity by approximately 1 meq/L. Add daily until the pH level stabilizes at 8.3. This will take from a day to a week, depending on the original pH level and alkalinity. After that, use it biweekly or monthly to maintain the pH level at 8.3.
