Aqua-Pics African KH Buffer 1kg
Special order item. Please allow for extra time.
Phosphate free. African KH Buffer helps your aquarium emulate the waters of the Great Lakes of Africa. It raises KH (carbonate hardness) and stops pH fluctuation, creating pH stability and reducing stress on fish. It also contains minerals which assist with fish fertility and egg production.
Directions: 1 level teaspoon or 5g to 40 litres of water will raise KH by approximately 6dKH or 106ppm. 1 teaspoon or 5g to 20 litres will raise KH by approximately 12dKH or 214ppm. PH will then stabilise to around 8.5.

I used this buffer in my 100L tank and noticed a steady pH level after a week. My cichlids seem more active and the breeding cycle has started. The instructions were clear and the product worked as expected.
Adam Graham –
It helped stabilize the pH in my African cichlid tank. I added it once a month and haven’t seen any spikes since. The KH level increased steadily without any fish stress.
