I’m trying to raise my ph to 8.3 with reef buffer but the reef buffer says only use 5g 1 level teaspoon for every 150L 40us gallons and I only have a 10 gallon tank I don’t know the exact amount to use I don’t want to over dose can any one tell what’s the exact amount to use

Not sure of reef buffer requirements but that comes out to 1/4 teaspoon for 10 gallons...

Caution - this stuff will dramatically increase Alkalinity.

Should I use 1 cup of Rodi water and put 1/4 of it mix it and poor into the tank

Yup a cup of rodi would be perfect

Thst alk boost will allow very little pH boost, and the pH effect is temporary.

Go to "pick a product" on the alkalinity section, see if your exact stuff comes up on a dropdown. Reef chemistry calculator below:
