Seachem Tanganyika Buffer
- Adjusts pH to 9.0 - 9.4
- Raises KH and pH
- Will not affect GH
Seachem Tanganyika Buffer replicates the ideal Tanganyikan alkaline environment by maintaining water at pH 9.0 - 9.4 using a unique blend of carbonate salts.
Tanganyika Buffer makes the aquarium suitable for cichlids to thrive, as the fish require water that is alkaline and of carbonate hardness.
For optimum replication of the Tanganyikan environment, use with Cichlid Lake Salt, Cichlid Trace, and NutriDiet Cichlid Flakes.
Directions
Use 5 g (1 level teaspoon) for each 40 80 L (10 to 20 US gallons) of water each day until desired pH is attained and maintained. Thereafter, use as required to maintain pH, usually no more than once every two to three weeks.
TIPS: It is best to dissolve the buffer in freshwater before use. Use when setting up an aquarium or making water changes (preferably after the addition of Seachem Cichlid Lake Salt) and between water changes as needed to maintain pH. Seachem Tanganyika Buffer is formulated to maintain a pH between 9.0 and 9.4, depending on the amount used. For lower pH, use Malawi/Victoria Buffer (pH 7.8 8.4), either alone or in combination with Seachem Tanganyika Buffer.
