Aqua-pics Kh+7.0 Buffer 400g

Description

Aqua-pics Kh+7.0 Buffer 400g — Step-up neutral buffer for a growing freshwater collection

Once a keeper has more than one freshwater tank, dosing pH Up or pH Down on each of them separately becomes a routine that never really fixes anything, since neither product builds the carbonate hardness (KH) the water needs to hold its own pH. Aqua-pics Kh+7.0 Buffer 400g (SKU: 100925) is the 400 g size of Aqua-Pics’ neutral buffer, raising KH, adjusting pH up or down as required, and locking it at around 7.0 so the correction stays in place between water changes. Working on KH directly reduces the stressful, damaging pH fluctuation that symptom-only treatments cannot prevent, contributing to fish health and longer life across every tank it is used in. The formula contains chemically clean phosphates, which Aqua-Pics states are selected so as not to add meaningfully to algae growth, and 400 g sits between the standard 250 g retail pack and the 800 g size for a keeper stepping up from a single tank.

The dose stays the same across the range: one level teaspoon, about 5 g, per 10 L of aquarium water, raising KH by roughly 8 dKH (143 ppm) and stabilising pH near 7.0 per application. A 400 g pack holds about 80 of those doses, equivalent to roughly 800 L of treated water, which comfortably covers a growing collection of community tanks through an extended run of regular water changes. As a general-purpose neutral buffer rather than the goldfish-specific product in the range, it suits mixed community and tropical tanks where a stable mid pH, rather than a slightly alkaline one, is the goal. The line runs from a 120 g trial pot up to a 16 kg bulk size for larger operations.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Growing tank collections: A second or third tank added to an existing buffering routine.
• Persistent pH drift: Where a single dose is not holding pH between water changes.
• Larger single tanks: One bigger community tank using more buffer per dose.
• Moving past trial sizes: Keepers who have confirmed the product works before buying larger packs.

Dosing & Administration Guide

• Measure a level teaspoon: About 5 g per 10 L of tank water for each dose.
• Dissolve before dosing: Stir the dose into a container of tank water before adding it in.
• Test across tanks: Check KH and pH in each tank rather than assuming they match.
• Dose with the water-change cycle: Reapply each time a portion of water is replaced.
