Seachem Tanganyika Buffer 3.64kg — Bulk High-pH Buffer for Large Aquariums Creating Tanganyika Lake-Like High-Carbonate Alkalinity for African Cichlids
Seachem Tanganyika Buffer 3.64kg (SKU: 725006-289) provides bulk buffering capacity for large African cichlid displays, fish rooms, and commercial facilities. It effectively elevates pH to between 9.0 and 9.4, establishing high carbonate alkalinity (KH) to buffer large water volumes against acidification over time.
Designed for high-demand environments, this powder buffer eliminates the need for frequent small tub repurchases while ensuring stable chemical parameters across high-volume systems. It works in tandem with Seachem Cichlid Lake Salt to create authentic Lake Tanganyika conditions.
