  • Adjusts pH to 5.8 - 6.8
  • Helps to replicate the ideal Discus environment
  • Use with Neutral Regulator to target a pH

Description

Discus Buffer® helps to replicate the ideal Discus environment (low pH & low GH (General Hardness)). Discus Buffer® will lower pH and keep it lowered. Discus Buffer® also softens water by precipitating calcium and magnesium. Use Discus Trace™ to restore the proper level of trace elements and feed NutriDiet® Discus Flakes for thriving, healthy Discus. Neutral Regulator® and Discus Buffer® can be used in combination to achieve a desired pH when performing water changes or adding top off water. The ratio chart below is designed for RO water where there is generally no buffering capacity. Contains phosphate buffers and conditioning agents. Safe for all freshwater fish acclimated to acid pH.

  • Use slowly in an established tank!
Size: 500 g
If setting up a new tank you can follow directions or you can merely keep adding this until you get to the desired pH for what you wish to keep. However, if you're adjusting a stocked tank do not go over one top per 10 gallons or it will shock your fish and microbiology. I've caused plants to melt with this stuff. But the do come back as well. ... show more

  • I trust all of Seachem products for my aquariums.
Size: 500 g
I have used Seachem Discus Buffer along with Seachem Neutral Regulator for 15 years. I would not even try to run an aquarium without these two products! The Neutral Regulator conditions the water, rids it of chloramine & ammonia, and buffers the pH to about 7.0. Used with Discus Buffer to bring and maintain the pH to 6.8 or lower, I never worry about pH shooting and killing my fish. This is great stuff! Thanks Seachem! ... show more
