Lucas Burgess –
I’ve been using this buffer with my Malawi cichlids for several months. The pH has stayed stable between 8.0 and 8.2, which is perfect for their health. Combined with Cichlid Lake Salt, the water chemistry feels much more natural. My fish are more active and less stressed.

The buffer works well in maintaining a consistent pH. I noticed a noticeable improvement in water stability after adding it to my tank. It’s easy to measure and mix. Just a small amount is needed for regular maintenance.
Simon Vance –
My Victoria cichlids have thrived since I started using this buffer. The pH has remained steady, and the water hardness has improved. I use it monthly as part of my routine water management.
