Tanganyika Buffer™ is a blend of carbonate salts designed to enhance the natural environment of cichlids by increasing hardness, buffer capacity, and pH. It is formulated to maintain a pH of 9.0–9.4. For optimum replication of the Tanganyikan environment, use with Cichlid Lake Salt™ and Cichlid Trace™.

Sizes: 250 g. 500
g, 1 kg, 20 kg, 100 kg

 
DIRECTIONS: Use 5 g (1 level teaspoon) for each 40–80 L (10 to 20 gallons) of water each day until desired pH is attained and maintained. Thereafter, use as required to maintain pH, usually no more than once every two to three weeks. HINTS: It is best to dissolve the buffer in freshwater before use. Use when setting up an aquarium or making water changes (preferably after the addition of Seachem’s Cichlid Lake Salt™) and between water changes as needed to maintain pH. Seachem’s Tanganyika Buffer™ is formulated to maintain a pH between 9.0 and 9.4, depending on the amount used. For lower pH, use Malawi/Victoria Buffer™ (pH 7.8–8.4), either alone or in combination with Tanganyika Buffer™.

Cichlid Trace ™ supplies a broad range of elements demonstrated to be necessary for proper fish health and growth. Unlike terrestial animals, fish obtain nutrients from both their food and environment. Trace elements are normally depleted over time , so it is important to restore them on a regular basis. more...


Cichlid Lake Salt™ is a chemically sound blend of salts designed to replicate the natural environment of cichlids. It contains all physiologically essential elements such as magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium, and includes trace components such as iron, aluminum, and iodide. more....
