| Q
I had purchased your Liquid Neutral Regulator to adjust
the pH of my aquarium since it was recommend by a local
fish store. After 1 week of continued use, the pH is still
running basic - 7.4. The water turns cloudy when it is added.
A: From the information you provided
about cloudy water I am assuming that you have very hard
water. It is completely normal for the water to cloud as
Neutral Regulator is trying to soften the water.
Neutral regulator is designed to work for the general water
municipalities. In unusually high KH conditions it may be
necessary to add more (directions state to add as necessary)
Neutral Regulator to combat the KH buffering system that
is most likely found in your water. It is a competition
between the two buffers, Neutral regulator is trying to
bring your pH down and the high KH (that is most likely
found in your water) is trying to bring pH up. This is a
situation that does not occur often. You may have to add
a stronger dose (at one time, Neutral Regulator is non toxic)
to bring pH down or in the rare situation you may need to
use Acid Buffer to bring down your hardness.
