Seachem Alkaline Buffer - 4KG Seachem Alkaline Buffer - 4KG is a bulk-size non-phosphate freshwater buffer for raising pH and carbonate alkalinity (KH) in planted aquariums, larger aquariums, and high-use maintenance setups. Seachem Alkaline Buffer for Larger Freshwater Systems The 4 kg size is suited to larger aquariums, fish rooms, service use, or hobbyists who regularly adjust KH and pH. Alkaline Buffer raises pH and buffers between pH 7.2 and 8.5. pH and KH Buffer Benefits for Planted Tanks Raises pH while increasing carbonate alkalinity (KH). Buffers freshwater aquariums between pH 7.2 and 8.5. Non-phosphate formula helps avoid adding phosphate to planted aquariums. Helps stabilize low or unstable KH in freshwater systems. Can be paired with Seachem Acid Buffer when a specific pH target is needed.
