Suggestions:

Particularly for African Cichlids, make frequent partial water changes (20%- 40% every 2-3 weeks) and readjust pH as necessary.

Rift Lakes pH Readings:

Lake	ph Range	Avg. pH
Victoria	8.0-8.8	8.40
Malawi	8.5-8.6	8.55
Tanganyika*	8.9-9.1	8.86

* If desired, double the usage of the buffer per 30 gallons to achieve a slightly higher pH target for Tanganyika species.

Ingredients:

Contains a proprietary blend of four sodium and bicarbonate salts, together with essential trace elements which occur naturally in the African “Rift Lakes” Cichlid-waters of Lake Malawi, Victoria and Tanganyika.

Description

Directions

The primary functions of pH Buffers are to resist pH-Drop (acidification), and to hold the pH at a given target pH and to increase carbonate hardness. This buffer also helps to reestablish a target pH level after making partial water changes with change water under target pH.

To RAISE a low pH and HOLD it at about 8.5:
- Add 1 level scoop (5 grams) of this buffer / 30 Gal. (113.5 L).
To LOWER a high pH and HOLD it at about 8.5:
- First adjust pH to 8.5 with a decreaser (MICROBE-LIFT/pH Decrease) and then add about ½ scoop (2.5 grams) of this buffer/30 Gal. (113.5 L).
Note: Pre-dissolve buffer in a small amount of bottled or dechlorinated tap water and introduce to your aquarium.

* A scoop is enclosed for your convenience.
