I used API pH Up for my African Cichlid tank and noticed a steady increase in pH within a day. The water stayed clear and my fish seemed more active. Easy to use and effective.
Cameron May –
The pH Down worked well for my betta fish, which prefer slightly acidic water. I added it slowly and monitored the pH closely. No cloudiness or disturbances in the tank.

Great product for adjusting pH without affecting water clarity. I’ve used it twice now and the results are consistent. My fish are thriving in the adjusted conditions.

It works, but I had to use a small amount at first. The pH change was gradual and I had to test it multiple times. Might be better for experienced aquarists.
