Seachem Acid Buffer

Description

Seachem Acid Buffer is a phosphate-free pH regulator designed to safely lower and stabilise pH in freshwater aquariums. It is ideal for fish species that prefer acidic to slightly acidic water, helping recreate natural soft-water conditions without introducing phosphates that can contribute to algae growth.

The buffer allows controlled pH adjustment and can be used daily until the desired pH level is reached. It may also be used alongside Seachem Alkaline Buffer for more precise pH management when required.
