Audrey Slater –
Used this in my 100L cichlid tank. The KH stabilized quickly and my fish seemed less stressed. The pH settled at 8.5 as expected. Good for maintaining stable conditions in a sensitive ecosystem.
Keith Henderson –
Added a small amount to my 50L tank. KH increased steadily and the water stayed stable over several weeks. No pH spikes. Works well with my African cichlids.

This buffer helped maintain consistent pH levels in my tank. The fish showed better spawning behavior after using it regularly. Easy to measure and effective.
