Charles Peake –
My Tanganyika cichlids have shown much better color and activity since I started using this buffer. The pH stays stable even after water changes. Easy to add and noticeable results within a week.
Piers Buckland –
Works well for maintaining the high pH needed for Malawi cichlids. I mix it with the water weekly and the tank stays balanced. A reliable addition to my cichlid setup.
Dylan Smith –
After switching from regular buffer to this product, my cichlids are more active and spawning has increased. The pH remains consistent even during temperature fluctuations.
Tracey Underwood –
It helps maintain pH, but I had to adjust the amount based on tank size. Not as easy to use as I expected, but effective over time.
