Seachem Acid Buffer 300gm / 10.6oz
Acid Buffer is a non-phosphate buffer designed to lower pH and stabilize water conditions when used with Alkaline Buffer. It is ideal for planted aquariums or very hard water systems where phosphate-based buffers may cause algae growth or water cloudiness.
When combined with Alkaline Buffer, Acid Buffer helps maintain pH levels between 6.0 and 8.0. As it lowers pH, it converts carbonate alkalinity (KH) into available CO2, which supports plant growth.

Used this with Alkaline Buffer in a planted tank. pH stabilized well between 6.8 and 7.2. No algae issues appeared after a week. The granules dissolve easily and the water clarity improved noticeably.

Good product for hard water setups. Took a few drops to adjust pH, but once balanced, the tank stayed stable. Works well with my live plants and fish.

No cloudiness or algae since switching to this buffer. The pH control is smooth and consistent. I’ve used it for over two months with no problems.
