Description
One of the key benefits of Seachem Reef Builder is its ability to stabilize aquarium water at pH 8.3 with long-term use. This is crucial because if either calcium or carbonates become deficient, coral growth will cease, leading to a rapid decline in coral health. But with Seachem Reef Builder, you can rest assured that your corals will receive the nutrients they need for optimal growth.
Not only does Seachem Reef Builder raise carbonate alkalinity, but it also does so with minimal pH impact. This means that you can achieve the desired alkalinity level without causing any drastic changes to your water chemistry. Furthermore, this product will not deplete essential elements such as calcium, magnesium, or strontium, which are commonly precipitated with increasing alkalinity.
For best results, use Seachem Reef Builder as directed. For beginners, simply use 3g (1/2 level teaspoon) per 150L (40 gallons) twice a week. Dissolve the appropriate amount of Reef Builder in at least 250ml (1 cup) of freshwater and adjust the dosage or frequency based on your alkalinity measurements.
If you're an advanced aquarium owner, you can check your alkalinity levels and follow the addition regimen outlined above until your alkalinity is adjusted to 4-5 meq/L. Each 3g/150L will raise alkalinity by about 0.25 meq/L. Ensure that you do not exceed 12g/150L per day and continue using Seachem Reef Builder as required to maintain alkalinity.
For expert aquarium enthusiasts, setting up a continuous drip system is highly recommended. Use the provided formula to determine the amount of Seachem Reef Builder to add to your top-off water, based on your desired alkalinity increase and the volume of your tank. However, please note that excess alkalinity may enhance the loss of calcium, magnesium, and strontium, so it is important to avoid overdosing.
Seachem Reef Builder can be used in conjunction with Seachem Reef Buffer for even better results. Reef Builder raises carbonate alkalinity without affecting pH, while Reef Buffer raises both carbonate alkalinity and pH. Remember to maintain reef alkalinity between 3-5 meq/L (8-14 dKH), and never allow it to fall below 2 meq/L.
Please note that Seachem Reef Builder should not be directly mixed with any calcium, magnesium, or strontium supplement. It is best to add calcium and carbonate additives on alternate days or at least 30 minutes apart to prevent any adverse reactions.
Invest in Seachem Reef Builder today and provide your coral with the nutrients they need to thrive. Achieve healthy coral growth and maintain optimal water chemistry in your aquarium. Order now and experience the benefits of this essential watercare product.
