Used this in my cichlid tank and noticed a steady pH level after a week. The fish seem more active and the breeding cycle started earlier than usual. Easy to measure and mix.
Alexander Gray –
Good for maintaining stable KH. Added it once a month and the water parameters stayed consistent. Slight adjustment needed for smaller tanks, but overall effective.
Gabrielle MacDonald –
My tank had frequent pH swings before. After using this buffer, the water stabilized quickly. The fish showed less stress and the fry developed normally.
