Tanganyika Buffer, 250 g / 8.8 oz

I have super soft and acidic water so this helps increase PH without a huge amount of kh. Useful to mix with other buffers.

Keeps the pH in my Tanganyika cichlid tanks high. Make sure to use a de-chlorinator with this when making anything other than a small water change.

Using this to augment the sand for Tanganyika shellies. Seems to work well, keeping the pH at ~7.5-8. If one is adding the buffer to an established tank with fish, I would start gradually, with small doses at first [as we lost a fish when dumping the entire dose in at once].

Tanganyika Buffer is one of the elements added to my water changes that helps stimulate my African Cichlids;it made them more vibrant. I always add back the recommended ratio of Tanganyika Buffer to the amount of water change.They look Great and Healthy. Seachem products is good stuff.

As described

I use this in my planted tanks to supplement minerals for my snails and shrimp. I'm running CO2 and this raises the kH for a buffering effect. I only use it with water changes so the change is gradual. I like this better than Baking Soda because it has less sodium.

I have a 125 gallon Neolamprologus Brichardi species tank, from Lake Tanganyika. I change out half the water every week and put in 4 tablespoons of the buffer. The pH doesn't get higher than in the mid 7's, but the fish must like the water, since they breed frequently.

Love this stuff
