Product details
Seachem Acid Buffer 300g (246) is a non‑phosphate aquarium buffer designed to help lower and stabilize pH in freshwater systems. It is commonly used alongside Seachem Alkaline Buffer™ when you want buffered pH reduction in planted aquariums or in very hard water. In use, it works by lowering pH and supporting a buffer range rather than acting as a one-time acid dose, and it can convert carbonate alkalinity (KH) into available CO2 for plant uptake.
Features:
- Non‑phosphate buffer system intended for pH lowering and buffering
- Designed for use in planted aquariums and very hard water
- Buffers with Alkaline Buffer™ to lower pH while maintaining a more stable target range
- Works by converting carbonate alkalinity (KH) into available CO2 as pH is lowered
- Helps avoid phosphate-based buffering where phosphate may contribute to algae or cloudiness concerns
- Can be used as a straight acid source for pH reduction (with buffering when paired)
