- Seachem Acid Buffer- Lower pH for Planted Aquariums
- PHOSPHATE FREE: Acid Buffer is a phosphate free buffer designed to lower pH and buffer with Seachem’s Alkaline Buffer
- PLANTED AQUARIUM: Acid Buffer and Alkaline Buffer are designed for the planted aquarium or for very hard water where phosphate buffers may pose an algae or cloudiness problem
- USE: In order to adjust pH gradually, or if water is soft or not well buffered, use Acid Buffer with Alkaline Buffer. Acid Buffer lowers pH and buffers between 6.0 and 8.0 when used with Alkaline Buffer
- DIRECTIONS: To lower pH, use 1/4 teaspoon (2g) for every 80 L (20 US gallons) daily until desired pH is reached (this dose lowers alkalinity by about 0.2 meq/L 0.6 dKH

Acid Buffer
- Adjusts pH to 5.0—8.0
- Designed for use in planted aquariums
- Converts carbonate alkalinity (KH) into available CO2
- Contains no phosphate
Acid Bufferis a non– phosphate buffer to lower pH and buffer with Alkaline Buffer. Both buffers are designed for the planted aquarium or for very hard water where phosphate buffers may pose an algae or cloudiness problem. Acid Buffer lowers pH and buffers between 6.0 and 8.0 when used with Alkaline Buffer. As Acid Buffer lowers pH it converts carbonate alkalinity (KH) into available CO2.
