Reef Builder

Reef Builder raises carbonate alkalinity without immediately impacting on pH.

With long term use there will be a tendency to stabilize at pH 8.3. Used as directed, Reef Builder will not deplete calcium, magnesium, or strontium which usually tend to precipitate with increasing alkalinity.

Reef Builder and Reef Buffer may be used together. Use Reef Builder to raise carbonate alkalinity without affecting pH.

Use Reef Buffer to raise carbonate alkalinity and pH. Reef alkalinity should be maintained at 35 meq/L (814 dKH). Alkalinity should not be allowed to fall below 2 meq/L.

Directions

BEGINNER:

  • Use 3 g (1/2 level teaspoon) per 150 L (40 gallons) twice a week.
  • Dissolve in at least 250 mL (1 cup) of freshwater.
  • Check alkalinity every 2 weeks and adjust amount or frequency accordingly.

    • For precise dosing, use the Seachem Digital Spoon Scale.

    ADVANCED:

  • Check alkalinity, then follow addition regimen above until alkalinity is adjusted to 45 meq/L.
  • Each 3 g/150 L will raise alkalinity by about 0.25 meq/L.
  • Quantity or frequency can be adjusted, but do not exceed 12 g/150 L per day. Thereafter, use as required to maintain alkalinity.

    • EXPERT:

  • After determining the alkalinity consumption rate, set up a continuous drip system.
  • Use the following formula to determine how much to add to your topoff water: m=0.08va (m=grams to add to top off water, v=volume of tank in litres, a=amount to raise alkalinity in meq/L).
  • For example, if you want to raise your alkalinity by 1 meq/L in a 200 liter tank, then you would add 0.08x200x1=16 g into the topoff water.
  • [For reference: 1 gallon=3.8 liters, 6 g=1 teaspoon]. Notes: Use MultiTest: Marine pH & Alkalinity to measure total alkalinity.

    • DO NOT OVERDOSE:

    Excess alkalinity may enhance the loss of calcium, magnesium, and strontium.
    Do not directly mix with any calcium, magnesium, or strontium supplement.
    Best if calcium & carbonate additives are added on alternate days or at least 30 minutes apart.

    Ingredients:
  • Contains carbonate, bicarbonate, chloride, and sulfate salts of sodium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, and potassium.

    • Analysis:
  • Each gram contains a minimum of 12 meq of alkalinity.
