This buffer has kept my cichlid tank stable for months. The pH stays consistently between 7.8 and 8.4, which is perfect for my Malawi cichlids. I use it regularly with Cichlid Lake Salt and have seen better coloration and activity in the fish.

Works well in maintaining the right pH for my Victoria cichlids. The water hardness has improved noticeably. I mix it with the lake salt and it’s easy to measure. A reliable addition to my cichlid setup.
