It raises carbonate hardness (KH) without affecting general hardness (GH), ensuring optimal water chemistry. Easy to dose and highly rated by aquarists, this 250g buffer supports both aquarium setup and ongoing maintenance for a thriving aquatic environment. ## Description Product Description Seachem Powder Tanganyika Buffer 250G Directions Use 5 g (1 level teaspoon) for each 40–80 L (10 to 20 US gallons) of water each day until desired pH is attained and maintained. Thereafter, use as required to maintain pH, usually no more than once every two to three weeks. TIPS: It is best to dissolve the buffer in freshwater before use. Use when setting up an aquarium or making water changes (preferably after the addition of Seachem’s Cichlid Lake Salt ) and between water changes as needed to maintain pH. Seachem’s Tanganyika Buffer is formulated to maintain a pH between 9.0 and 9.4, depending on the amount used. For lower pH, use Malawi/Victoria Buffer (pH 7.8–8.4), either alone or in combination with Tanganyika Buffer.
