Seachem Arowana Buffer 250g — Softwater pH Adjuster for Aquariums Housing Asian & South American Arowanas, Amazonian & Tropical Fish Species

Seachem Arowana Buffer 250g (SKU: 725143-1226) is a targeted water buffer designed to establish a stable pH of 6.5 in aquariums housing Arowanas, Peacock Bass, and other softwater tropical fish species. In hard tap water environments, elevated pH and mineral hardness can cause chronic stress, dull colouration, and compromised immune response in Amazonian fish. Arowana Buffer neutralises alkalinity, bringing pH down to 6.5 while softening water chemistry. Furthermore, Arowana Buffer aids in bolstering the arowana’s natural defences against infections, making it the preferred choice for conditioning their water.

The 250g container is sized for small-to-medium aquariums or initial water conditioning routines. Formulated to resist sudden pH fluctuations, Arowana Buffer also conditions the water to support mucosal coat development, reducing susceptibility to skin pathogens. Arowana Buffer effectively adjusts aquarium pH to the optimal 6.5 for Asian Arowanas, working from both acidic and alkaline starting points and sustaining it for several weeks. This buffer also safely softens water by removing excess calcium and magnesium.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Water Change Conditioning: Adjusts municipal tap water to pH 6.5 during routine maintenance.
• Softwater Species Care: Recreates soft, acidic river conditions for Arowanas, Stingrays, and Tetra species.
• Acclimation Support: Reduces osmotic shock when acclimating newly acquired softwater specimens.

Dosing & Administration Guide

• Standard Dosage: Mix 7 g (1 level teaspoon) per 40–80 L of water daily until pH reaches 6.5.
• Application Method: Dissolve fully in a bucket of fresh water before adding to the aquarium.
• pH Monitoring: Measure pH using a calibrated digital meter or liquid test kit before and after dosing.
