Seachem Reef Builder

Introduction

Seachem Reef Builder is a professional-grade buffer formulated to raise and maintain alkalinity in marine and reef aquariums while supporting calcium stability. By providing the carbonate ions necessary for coral and invertebrate skeletal development, Reef Builder creates a balanced, natural seawater environment that promotes growth, vitality, and long-term stability in reef ecosystems. Unlike many other buffers, Reef Builder increases alkalinity without significantly altering pH, making it safe for sensitive corals and marine life.

Features

• Raises Alkalinity – Increases carbonate hardness (KH), ensuring a stable pH and optimal environment for corals.

• Supports Calcium Levels – Provides elements that work synergistically with calcium for coral skeleton growth.

• Promotes Coral Growth – Supplies carbonate ions essential for skeletal development in corals and invertebrates.

• Safe for Reef Aquariums – Contains no harmful substances; reef-safe formula.

• Easy Application – Simple to dissolve and dose directly into the aquarium.

• No pH Impact – Raises alkalinity without significantly changing pH.

Usage

• Dosage: Add 5 g per 40 L (10 gal) of water to raise alkalinity by ~1 dKH.

• Application: Dissolve in a small amount of water before adding to the aquarium. Dose near a return pump or high-flow area for even distribution.

• Frequency: Test KH levels regularly and dose as needed to maintain target alkalinity. Incorporate into routine maintenance for consistent results.

Available Sizes

• 50 g

• 300 g

• 600 g

• 1.2 kg

• 4 kg

Recommendations

• For Reef Aquariums: Perfect for SPS, LPS, and mixed reef tanks requiring stable KH and calcium.

• Use with Reef Calcium: Combine with Seachem Reef Calcium for balanced supplementation.

• Monitor Parameters: Regular testing of KH and Ca ensures proper balance.

• Established Tanks: Especially beneficial for long-term reef aquariums where stability is crucial.
