Brightwell Aquatics Alkalin8.3 Liquid PH Buffer
Overview
Unlike single component KH products such as sodium carbonate, Alkalin 8.3 is a multi-component automatic buffer that regulates pH and its use makes for a much more stable aquarium. Eliminates pH and KH instability caused by poor salt mixes and ineffective buffering products. Highly-effective alkalinity(KH)-increasing (“buffer”) solution.
Helps increase pH stability in an aquarium by raising the alkalinity.
Provides a source of carbonates, which make up the majority by weight of aragonite, the mineral secreted by reef-building organisms as skeletal material.
Continued addition raises pH until 8.3 is reached, at which point the pH remains stable.

FAQ
Can Alkalin8.3 be used in freshwater aquariums?
No, Alkalin8.3 is formulated for marine and reef aquariums and is not suitable for freshwater systems.
How often should Alkalin8.3 be added to the tank?
Add according to water testing results. Monitor pH and KH levels regularly and add only as needed to maintain stability.
Does Alkalin8.3 affect water hardness?
Yes, it increases alkalinity (KH), which contributes to overall water hardness in marine systems.

Used Alkalin8.3 in my reef tank for three months. pH stayed steady at 8.3 without fluctuations. The water clarity improved and corals showed better coloration. Easy to mix and no need for frequent adjustments.
Leah Sharp –
Good product for maintaining stable pH. I added it once a month based on test results. KH levels increased steadily and the tank remained balanced. Slightly more expensive than basic buffers, but worth it for reef tanks.

After switching from sodium carbonate, my pH swings were gone. Alkalin8.3 works smoothly and keeps the water stable. I’ve used it consistently and haven’t had any issues with coral health.
