Christian Hardacre –
Used Tanganyika Buffer with Cichlid Lake Salt and Trace. My cichlids have been very stable in pH and activity has improved. Water chemistry stays consistent even after regular water changes.
James Ince –
Good product for maintaining high pH. Works well with the other cichlid salts. Slight adjustment needed after initial setup, but now the tank is stable.
Sally Greene –
After switching to this buffer, my tank’s pH has remained between 9.1 and 9.3 for over three months. The fish seem more vibrant and less stressed.
Sean Short –
It helps maintain alkalinity, but I had to add it more frequently than expected. Works as intended, but not as simple as other buffers.
