Another Company's product
There are a lot of aquarium products on the market, and while most of them will work perfectly fine together in the aquarium, some will not. We can't 100% guarantee any product that's not our own, but here's a few quick rules:
- Avoid using products that overlap in function. Either one works and so it's the one you should be using, both work and so it's a waste to use them both, or neither work and you should be looking for a third, better product. In the case of Marine Buffer®, using multiple buffers when only one is needed could result in a pH and alkalinity that is different from the one you want.
- Research the products you use carefully. Typically, if a product or medication is volatile enough to react with a buffer, the company will mention it on the label or website, or you can call in to check.
- When in doubt, wait a day. While there should not be any interaction between Marine Buffer® and another product, leaving 24 hours in between the doses will avoid possible fish stress from rapidly changing water parameters.
Seachem® Products
It's safe to use Marine Buffer® alongside any of the other Seachem® products that are recommended for saltwater systems. That said, Marine Buffer™ is primarily intended for fish-only (FOWLR) systems. We recommend the "Reef" line of products for saltwater aquariums that contain corals.
Here's some Seachem® products that are Reef Supplements
| Reef Buffer™ | Reef Builder™ | Reef Carbonate™ |
| Reef Advantage Calcium™ | Reef Advantage Magnesium™ | Reef Advantage Strontium™ |
| Reef Calcium™ | Reef Complete® | Reef Fusion 1™ & Reef Fusion 2™ |
| Reef Zooplankton™ | Reef Phytoplankton™ | Reef Plus™ |
As previously mentioned, these products do not directly interact with each other, but if you are keeping corals, we recommend the use of reef-specific supplements like those listed in the table.
