Seachem Tanganyika Buffer

Tanganyika Buffer ™ is a mixture of carbonate salts designed to improve the natural environment of cichlids by increasing alkalinity, carbonate hardness, buffer capacity and pH. It is formulated to maintain a pH of 9.0-9.4. For optimum replication of the Tanganyikan environment, use Cichlid Lake Salt ™, Cichlid Trace ™ and NutriDiet® Cichlid Flakes.

Use of Seachem Tanganyika Buffer

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE: Use 5 g (1 level teaspoon) per 40-80 L (10 to 20 US gallons) of water every day until the desired pH is reached and maintained. Next, use as required to maintain pH, usually no more than once every two to three weeks.

TIPS: It is best to dissolve the buffer in fresh water before use. To be used when setting up an aquarium or making water changes (preferably after the addition of Seachem's Cichlid Lake Salt ™) and between water changes if necessary to maintain the pH. Sakaem's Tanganyika Buffer ™ is formulated to maintain a pH between 9.0 and 9.4 depending on the amount used. For a lower pH, use Malawi / Victoria Buffer ™ (pH 7.8-8.4), alone or in combination with Tanganyika Buffer ™.
