Alkaline Buffer - 10.6 oz.

Alkaline buffer is a non-phosphate buffer. This product is designed for the planted aquarium or for very hard water where phosphate buffers may pose an algae or cloudiness problem. Alkaline Buffer raised pH and buffers between 7.2 and 7.8. It is gentle, safe and enhances the freshwater environment. It may be combine with Acid Buffer at fixed ratios to obtain a target pH. Compatible with all other Seachem buffers. Contains sodium, potassium, magnesium and other bicarbonate salts.

Contains: Proprietary powdered nonphosphate buffer salt.

Directions: Use 7 g (1 level teaspoon) for every 40 L (10 gallons*) daily until desired pH is reached (this dose raises alkalinity by about 2 meq/L (5.6 dKH)). If water is soft or not well buffered, use with Acid Buffer™ (see below). HINTS: Alkaline Buffer will not lower pH. It may be added directly to the aquarium at any time. It preferentially buffers at pH 7.8, but can manage any pH between 7.2 and 8.5 when used with Acid Buffer.
