Waterlife Buffer pH 6.5 and pH 7.2

Lowers pH and hardness of tap-water for acid loving fish and plants.

A true buffer, which softens and acidifies tap-water for acidophilic fishes and plants. Once the right amount of 6.5 Buffer has been added a pH of 6.5 will be achieved and maintained. This mechanism makes 6.5 Buffer a safe method of adjusting pH.

Creating ideal water conditions for acid-loving fishes and plants
Softening the calcium carbonate/bicarbonate conditions to zero
When used in conjunction with Tropiflora (plant fertilizer) it makes a perfect combination for vigorous plant growth as well
Reduces fish waste toxicity
Reduces harmful bacteria

Adjusts and stabilises pH to 7.2

pH can be a major issue for fish keepers. Waterlife has for some time produced 2 popular buffers, 6.5 Buffer and an 8.3 Buffer product to replicate those desired water conditions. After a lengthy consultation period with the trade, a requirement for a new product was hi-lighted. The new pH 7.2 Buffer produces neutral to slightly alkaline water conditions suitable for most community species. It is an easy to use powder treatment that is completely safe - i.e. No matter how much 7.2 Buffer you add to the water it will not lower the pH below 7.2

Uses:

Creates ideal conditions for most community tropical fish and plants that prefer a neutral pH
Will increase the pH to 7.2 in low pH aquariums, and decrease pH to 7.2 in high pH aquariums
Increases the buffering capacity of the water to stabilise the pH
7.2 Buffer is a true buffer, i.e. once the correct amount is added, pH 7.2 stability will be achieved
This product will not lower the pH below 7.1 or raise it above 7.3
