Seachem Acid Buffer 70g: pH Control for Freshwater Aquariums
Seachem Acid Buffer is an efficient solution for safely lowering and stabilizing the pH in freshwater aquariums. It is designed to convert alkaline water conditions to more acidic levels without using phosphate-based ingredients, which can contribute to unwanted algae growth. This makes it ideal for fish species that thrive in slightly acidic water environments, such as tetras, angelfish, and other soft-water species.
Key Features:
- Lowers and stabilizes pH: Adjusts pH levels in a controlled manner, ensuring a stable environment for sensitive species.
- Phosphate-free formula: Prevents algae blooms by avoiding phosphates, which are known to promote algae growth.

I’ve used this buffer for my angelfish tank for three months now. The pH dropped from 7.8 to 6.5 smoothly and stayed stable. No algae growth since I started using it. The powder is easy to mix and the instructions are clear.

Good product for adjusting pH in a soft-water setup. I mixed it with water according to the guide and saw a steady decrease in pH. My tetras seem more active now. A little slow to take effect, but worth it.

My aquarium had high alkalinity and I was worried about algae. After using this buffer, the pH stabilized at 6.6. No signs of algae, and my fish are calm and healthy. No phosphate issues either.
