SEACHEM ACID BUFFER 600GM
Acid Buffer is a non-phosphate buffer designed to lower pH and stabilize water conditions in planted aquariums or in very hard water systems where phosphate-based buffers may cause algae growth or water cloudiness.
When used in combination with Alkaline Buffer, Acid Buffer effectively lowers pH and maintains a stable range between 5.0 and 8.0. It converts carbonate alkalinity (KH) into available CO2 during the process, which supports plant health in planted tanks.
Acid Buffer is also suitable for safely reducing pH in marine aquariums where precise pH control is essential.

Used in a planted tank with hard water. The pH dropped smoothly without causing cloudiness. Plants stayed healthy and the water clarity improved after a few weeks. No algae issues observed.
William King –
Works well with Alkaline Buffer to maintain stable pH. The CO2 release helped my plants grow better. I didn’t notice any changes in alkalinity, which was a relief.
Adam Jones –
Great product for reducing pH safely. No phosphate buildup, which was a concern in my previous setup. Works reliably in a marine tank too, though I used it cautiously.
