Best if used w/acid buffer - Great for raising pH and KH
My tap water has very low KH, so I needed something to raise it to keep my tank from major pH fluctuations, such as from my new driftwood. If you are trying to hit a specific pH, you would do well to buy the Seachem acid buffer with this alkaline buffer and mix them with a specific ratio per the instructions on the container.I had just gotten a nice large piece of wood for my tank, and didn't have the time/space to soak it separately, so I put it directly in my tank. To keep the initial wood rot and tannins from lowering my pH significantly, I got this alkaline buffer, in addition to some activated carbon. I added just enough to raise my KH to about 4 degrees and the pH to about 7.4, which is where it was before the tannins started lowering it.pH has now stabilized to around 7.3-7.4. With tank cleaning/water changes, more buffer will eventually need to be added to keep things stable.It seems to be a decent product, and was very cheap, so I'm happy.

Product 5star but delivery bad!
Item 5 stars, finally got my ph up after trying lots of other things! Not happy with Amazon service, it was delivered 3 days late, box smashed and the lid broken so can’t seal it, but really needed it so no time to return after waiting so long and loosing my mystery snails already. Want to contact the seller for new lid but only option is to return product and wait again. If seller reads this please send me a lid 🙏 so it doesn’t spill or go bad!

Works fast
I have used other products with this company and I’ve always been impressed. Is this buffer work quickly? Didn’t overstress my tank and then exactly what I needed to do. I give it a thumbs up.

Works great!
I absolutely LOVE Seachem! I found out about their wonderful products watching Kaveman Aquatics on YouTube. I'm OH SO GLAD I did! I've had so much trouble with my tank. After a really bad ammonia spike, the PH just would not go back up. I bought this stuff because I had some plants that I didn't want to loose. Before it could be shipped, my plants died. That's how bad my tank had gotten! I still went ahead and dosed the tank as soon as I got it. ONE DOSE! My PH was perfect the next day! Also using Prime and Stability for a week has dropped my ammonia to 0 for the first time in months! I highly recommend Seachem! 👍

Does what it's supposed to
In the process of cycling my tank I had noticed a drop in pH levels as well as kh.Knowing that too low of a value can stall or even crash my cycle, I needed to boost my kh in order to stabilize my pH.Per the instructions, I added 1 teaspoon to my 20 gallon planted tank and went from a pH of 6.6 and kh of 3 (53ppm) to a pH of 7.6 and a kh of 6 (107ppm).Best part of all, it did not create any cloudiness that most people experience with API's buffer.
