Seachem Acid buffer - pH buffer / stabilizer between 5.0 and 8.0

Seachem ACID Buffer is a highly effective product for pH control in aquarium. It has been developed specifically for fresh water, particularly for aquariums rich in plants, where the use of phosphate-based pads can cause algal or water-striking proliferation.

Its formulation It does not contain phosphates or carbonates, making it a safe and controllable choice even in sensitive tanks or with hard water.

Chemical and biological action

Acid Buffer is not limited to lowering the pH, but intervenes directly on the chemistry of water.

• Reduces and stabilizes the pH between 5.0 and 8.0

• Converts carbonate hardness (KH) into carbon dioxide available

• Increase the cojection that can be used from aquatic plants

• Supports plant growth in planted aquariums

This conversion makes Acid buffer particularly useful in aquariums where the contribution of co₂ is fundamental.

Use in styled aquariums

The product is designed for high-density environments.

• Ideal for freshwater aquariums with plants

• Useful in harsh or alkaline waters

• Alternative to phosphate pads in case of algae problems

• Improve chemical stability of water

In the presence of water with high calcium content or strong alkalinity, ACID buffer can be preferred to other buffer systems.

Use in marine aquariums

Although it is designed for fresh water, Acid Buffer can also be used in the marine environment.

• Suitable for lowering the pH in marine aquariums

• Controlled and gradual action

• To be used carefully and precise dosages

Use combined with Alkaline buffer

For a precise pH adjustment, Acid Buffer can be used together with Alkaline Buffer, especially with reverse osmosis water.

• Allows you to accurately set the desired pH value

• Allows gradual and stable control

• Ideal for advanced and professional fittings

The combined system is particularly indicated when starting from little buffered water.

Dosage and method of use

Acid Buffer is a very concentrated product and must be dosed with precision.

• Standard dose: 2 g every 80 liters per day

• Reduces the KH of about 0.6 dkh per dose

• To bring 30 liters to KH 4, about 3.5 g serve

• A 250 g bottle treats up to 3,000 liters of water

The use of a precision balance for a correct dosage is recommended.

Important warnings

• Very powerful product

• Overdose

• Increase dosages only in very harsh waters

• Always monitor pH and kH during use

Correct use guarantees quick and safe results without stress for fish and plants.
