Seachem alkaline buffer powder is a 300g container of premium pH and alkalinity raising treatment designed to safely increase and maintain elevated pH levels in freshwater aquariums that house fish species requiring alkaline water conditions. Many popular freshwater fish species originate from naturally alkaline environments where the water pH remains consistently above 7.0 and the carbonate hardness provides strong buffering capacity that prevents pH fluctuations. African cichlids from lakes Malawi Tanganyika and Victoria are the most well-known group requiring alkaline conditions with preferred pH ranges between 7.8 and 8.6 depending on the specific lake of origin. Livebearers like mollies platies swordtails and guppies also thrive in moderately alkaline water with pH levels between 7.2 and 8.0. Without proper buffering the pH in these aquariums will naturally drift downward over time as biological processes produce acids from fish waste decomposition and the natural tendency of most tap water sources to lose buffering capacity between water changes. This product works by introducing carbonate and bicarbonate compounds into the water that both raise the pH and provide ongoing buffering capacity to maintain the elevated pH between dosing sessions. The powder format dissolves quickly and distributes evenly throughout the aquarium water column. When used in combination with Acid Buffer it allows precise pH targeting to any desired level between 6.0 and 8.0 by adjusting the ratio of the two products. The 300g size provides months of treatment for typical freshwater aquariums. Does not contain phosphate which means it will not contribute to algae problems. Safe for all freshwater fish plants and invertebrates. Available at TaraPet the UAE trusted online pet and aquarium store with free delivery.
