Seachem Tanganyika Buffer 9.0 - 9.4 Ph 1kg

SEACHEM TANGANYIKA BUFFER 1Kg Seachem Tanganyika Buffer is a specialised blend of carbonate salts designed to replicate the mineral‑rich, highly alkaline conditions Lake Tanganyika cichlids thrive in. It increases alkalinity and carbonate hardness (KH), improving buffer capacity to help prevent dangerous pH swings in hard‑water African cichlid aquariums. Formulated to maintain a high pH of 9.0–9.4 (depending on dose), it’s ideal for Tanganyikan communities where stable, elevated pH is essential for health, behaviour, and long‑term success. Key features • Raises alkalinity and carbonate hardness (KH) to improve buffering capacity. • Targets a stable pH range of 9.0–9.4 for Tanganyikan cichlid conditions. • Best dissolved in freshwater before adding to the aquarium. • Can be used at setup, during water changes, and between water changes as needed to maintain pH. Usage notes For best replication of Lake Tanganyika conditions, Seachem suggests pairing it with Cichlid Lake Salt and Cichlid Trace. If you need a lower target pH (7.8–8.4), Seachem points to Malawi/Victoria Buffer, either alone or blended with Tanganyika Buffer to fine‑tune results. Increase pH gradually and avoid large, sudden parameter shifts for sensitive livestock.
