Used this with Cichlid Lake Salt and Trace. My cichlids have been more active and their coloration has improved. The pH stayed stable even after water changes. Easy to mix and effective.
Lillian Manning –
Good product for maintaining pH in a cichlid tank. Works well with the other Seachem cichlid products. Slight adjustment needed after initial setup, but overall reliable.

My tank has been stable for over three months. The buffer helped keep pH between 7.9 and 8.1 consistently. No fluctuations even during water changes.
