Aqua-Pics African KH Buffer 2.5kg
Special order item. Please allow for extra time.
Phosphate free. African KH Buffer helps your aquarium emulate the waters of the Great Lakes of Africa. It raises KH (carbonate hardness) and stops pH fluctuation, creating pH stability and reducing stress on fish. It also contains minerals which assist with fish fertility and egg production.
Directions: 1 level teaspoon or 5g to 40 litres of water will raise KH by approximately 6dKH or 106ppm. 1 teaspoon or 5g to 20 litres will raise KH by approximately 12dKH or 214ppm. PH will then stabilise to around 8.5.

Zoe Ross –
Used this buffer in my 100L cichlid tank. KH stabilized after a week and my fish seemed more active. No pH spikes, which was a big relief. The instructions were clear and the product worked as expected.
Natalie Smith –
Good for maintaining stable pH. Added it once a month to keep KH consistent. My fish have been more vibrant since switching to this buffer. A bit pricey but worth it for the stability.
Nicola Peake –
Perfect for African cichlid tanks. The KH levels stayed steady and my breeding pair produced healthy eggs. No fluctuations in pH, which helped reduce stress on the fish.
