{"product_id":"seachem-marine-buffer-500-gm","title":"Seachem Marine Buffer 500 gm","description":"\u003cp\u003eMarine Buffer will safely raise marine pH to 8.3. It will not raise pH above 8.3 even if inadvertently overdosed.\u003cbr\u003eMarine Buffer is a blended product and is not just sodium bicarbonate or sodium carbonate, commonly sold as a substitute. Such products can raise pH to dangerous levels if not used properly. Marine Buffer contains sodium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, and potassium salts of carbonate, bicarbonate, chloride, sulfate, and borate.\u003cbr\u003eUse Marine Trace to restore the proper level of trace elements required by thriving, healthy saltwater fish.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirections:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdd 5 g (1 level teaspoon) for each 80 L (20 gallons*). Dissolve in at least one cup of freshwater. This dose will also raise alkalinity by about 1 meq\/L. Add daily until pH stabilizes at 8.3. This will take from a day to a week, depending on original pH and alkalinity. Thereafter, use biweekly or monthly to maintain a pH of 8.3. If this practice is not adequate, then overstocking, overfeeding, or other poor management practice should be sought as a likely cause.\u003cbr\u003eIn ionically balanced marine water, Marine Buffer produces little precipitate or cloudiness. If an extensive precipitate forms upon addition of Marine Buffer that does not dissolve within ~15 minutes, then poor ionic balance was present.\u003cbr\u003eA water change should be initiated when convenient before further use of the product. Effectiveness improves with continued use. Do not directly mix with any calcium, magnesium, or strontium supplement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seachem","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67799722885416,"sku":"SCMB500","price":13.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/6293\/4824\/files\/seachem_marine_buffer_500_gr._700x700__82714_1__1.jpg?v=1790887894","url":"https:\/\/bubbleflowaquatix.com\/products\/seachem-marine-buffer-500-gm","provider":"Bubble Flow Aquatix","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
