Seachem Reef Builder 4kg
Seachem Reef Builder™ is a premium supplement designed to raise carbonate alkalinity (KH) in reef aquariums without immediately impacting pH. Over time, it helps stabilize pH at 8.3, promoting a healthy and stable reef environment. Maintaining proper alkalinity is essential for coral growth, as both carbonates and calcium are vital for building coral skeletons. Unlike some alkalinity boosters, Reef Builder™ does not deplete calcium, magnesium, or strontium, ensuring balanced water chemistry.

Jasmine Langdon –
Used Reef Builder for the first time in my 120-gallon reef tank. Alkalinity increased steadily over a week without any pH spikes. Corals have grown more vibrant since adding it. No changes in calcium or magnesium levels, which is exactly what I wanted.

Good product for maintaining stable alkalinity. It works well in a mixed reef setup. I added it once a week and noticed better coral coloration after two months. No side effects on calcium levels.

The 4kg size is perfect for a large tank. It’s easy to mix and has no unpleasant odor. My tank’s KH has remained stable at 8.3 for over three months now. Highly recommend for reef keepers.
