I’ve used Reef Builder for three months now and my coral colors have improved. The water stability is better than before. I measure alkalinity weekly and adjust dosage accordingly. Works well with my live rock setup.
Kimberly Hamilton –
Good product for maintaining stable alkalinity. I added it every two weeks based on test results. My tank has been stable since I started using it. A little more precise dosing would help.
Jason Russell –
My reef tank has been under stress before due to pH swings. Since switching to Reef Builder, the water parameters have remained consistent. It’s easy to use and effective.
Stephanie Newman –
It works, but I found it hard to judge the right amount without testing first. I recommend checking alkalinity before each use to avoid over-supplementation.
