Quantum American/aust Ph Buffer | Kh Conditioner – 250ml

Description

Quantum American/Aust pH Buffer | KH Conditioner 250ml — Buffer Pro for Central American Cichlids and Australian Natives

Oscars, convicts and Australian rainbowfish share a preference for moderately hard, alkaline water, and a tank on soft tap water drifts away from it between changes. Quantum American/Aust pH Buffer | KH Conditioner 250ml (SKU: QA350250) is Quantum’s American/Australian Buffer Pro, a solution of safe KH and pH salts in deionised water formulated to raise carbonate hardness to the desired level while regulating pH, replicating the American lakes and Australian waterways these fish come from. Unregulated KH and pH leave a tank prone to swings that compromise the fish’s biochemistry, so Quantum pairs the buffer with American/Australian Pro Salt GH.

The dose is 10 mL per 100 L for a rise of 1 dKH, and the recommended levels for American cichlid and Australian native tanks are 3 to 6 dKH with a pH of 7.5 to 8.5. Water changes are dosed for the replacement volume alone. A 200 L tank changing 50 L a week from RO water to 4 dKH uses 20 mL, so the 250 mL bottle covers about twelve changes, enough to see how the fish respond before moving to a larger size.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Central American cichlid tanks: Convicts, firemouths, Jack Dempseys and oscars.
• Australian natives: Rainbowfish, gudgeons and other species from moderately hard, alkaline waterways.
• Soft tap water: Homes whose supply carries too little carbonate hardness to hold pH.
• Trying the system: A first bottle before committing to the larger sizes for a bigger tank.

Dosing & Administration Guide

• Target 3 to 6 dKH and pH 7.5 to 8.5: Test the tank and pick a level for the species.
• 10 mL per 100 L per 1 dKH: Multiply the rise wanted by the litres treated.
• Water changes: Dose only the replacement water, matched to the tank’s KH.
• Pair with Pro Salt GH: Keep general hardness in range with the companion product.
