Seachem Reef Buffer 250g
Seachem Reef Buffer is a premium marine buffer specifically formulated to safely raise and maintain pH in reef aquariums without depleting calcium, magnesium, or strontium. Unlike traditional buffers, Reef Buffer helps stabilise pH between 8.3 and 8.4, creating the ideal environment for corals, marine fish, and other reef inhabitants.
Developed for reef systems, Reef Buffer also helps maintain carbonate alkalinity, supporting coral growth and skeletal development while promoting a stable and healthy marine ecosystem.

Harry Hudson –
I’ve used Reef Buffer for three months now and my reef has stayed stable. The pH remains consistently between 8.3 and 8.4. No drops in calcium or alkalinity. My polyps are more vibrant and active than before. Easy to dose and works well with my existing setup.
Austin Sutherland –
This buffer is a game changer for my reef tank. I used to have pH swings that stressed my corals. Since adding Reef Buffer, the water chemistry has been steady. No need to adjust other parameters. Highly recommended for reef keepers.

Works well for maintaining pH, but I found it takes a few weeks to see full stabilization. I mix it with my weekly water changes. My tank feels more balanced now, and my corals are growing steadily.
