Description of Seachem 116023306 Alkaline Buffer 600Gram

RAISES PH: Alkaline Buffer is a non-phosphate buffer to raise pH and alkalinity (KH). If looking to target a specific pH, use with Seachem’s Acid Buffer. PLANTED AQUARIUM: These buffers are designed for the planted aquarium or for very hard water where phosphate buffers may pose an algae or cloudiness problem. SAFE: Seachem’s Alkaline Buffer is gentle, safe, and enhances the freshwater environment. USE: To adjust pH gradually, use Alkaline Buffer along with Seachem’s Acid Buffer. When using together to target a specific pH, utilize the suggested ratio chart. DIRECTIONS: To increase pH, use 1 teaspoon (6 g) for every 80 L (20 US gallons) daily until desired pH is reached (this dose raises alkalinity by about 1 meq/L (2.8 dKH)).

Increase CH for planted aquariums

I have soft tap water and very low KH. I use this to increase my KH. It also increases the PH. Working as intended. I add after every water change to keep the KH around 5 and my PH around 7.4.

Pros
  • PLANTED AQUARIUM: These buffers are designed for planted aquariums or very hard water where phosphate buffers can cause algae or turbidity problems.
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

You will also need an additional product,

This is not a one-off. As soon as I received it, I found that he recommends using a different product with it (another buffer I can't remember now). Hence two stars for not providing this information in detail.

Pros
  • . USAGE: Use an alkaline buffer together with an acidic Seachem buffer for a gradual pH adjustment. When used together, use the suggested ratio table to achieve a specific pH.
Cons
  • Largely ok, but...

Alkaline Buffer: Fish & Aquatic Animals

My local aquarium dealer told me to try this to stiffen my tank. The dosage corresponds to the recommended dosage and has increased my PH level. The store said that because my water hardness was close to zero. I also looked at the bottom from the side, it says you have to use an acid buffer and the dosage is indicated. So I reduced the alkaline buffer to keep pH heaven high. I went back to try and check the hardness but the memory indicator solution was working properly so I can't tell if my…

Pros
  • INSTRUCTIONS: To raise pH, use 1 teaspoon (6 g) per 80 L (20 US gal) daily until desired pH is reached (this dose will increase alkalinity by about 1 mEq/L (2.8 dKH).
Cons
  • Requires socket

Better Than Expected

At first I used PH Up and PH Down liquids but they didn't work at all (I only used PH UP). My 20 gallon freshwater tank is a monster when it comes to water control, but as anyone in the hobby knows, smaller aquariums require more attention. I have an alkaline buffer and it's amazingly effective. The results are immediately visible and safe for fish even if I increase the dose from 6.8 to 7.8 per dose. In addition, the reservoir remains stable for longer. Weekly) and 20-25% water changes (4-5…

Pros
  • RAISES PH: Alkaline Buffer is a phosphate-free buffer designed to raise pH and alkalinity (KH). If you want to achieve a specific pH, use Seachem's Acid Buffer.
Cons
  • No performance
