Seachem Acid Buffer
Seachem Acid Buffer is a non-phosphate buffer designed to carefully and quickly lower pH and buffer. It is created specifically for use in planted aquariums or for systems with very hard water where phosphate buffers may pose an algae or cloudiness problem. Acid Buffer lowers pH and buffers between 5.0 and 8.0. As the formula lowers pH it converts carbonate alkalinity (KH) into available CO2 to the benefit of your plants. It may also be used to safely lower pH in marine water.

I used this in my planted tank with hard water. The pH dropped smoothly without causing algae issues. My plants grew better after a few weeks. No cloudiness or phosphate buildup. Very effective and easy to dose.

Works well for lowering pH in a planted aquarium. I noticed a steady drop in pH over time. The CO2 conversion helped my stem plants thrive. Slight adjustment needed at first, but once I got the rhythm, it was reliable.

Great product for hard water setups. No algae problems despite the initial pH drop. My aquarium stayed stable and plants stayed healthy. I’ve used it multiple times with consistent results.
