Seachem Malawi/Victoria Buffer is a blend of carbonate salts designed to enhance the natural environment of cichlids by increasing carbonate hardness, buffer capacity, and pH. It is formulated to maintain a pH of 7.8—8.4. For optimum replication of the Malawi/Victoria Lake environment, use with Cichlid Lake Salt, Cichlid Trace, and NutriDiet Cichlid Flakes.
Directions for Use:
Use 6 g (one level teaspoon) for each 40 to 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 Malawi/Victoria Buffer is formulated to maintain a pH between 7.8 and 8.4, depending on the amount used. To attain a lower pH than 7.8, you may use Seachem"™s Acid Buffer in combination with Malawi/Victoria Buffer.
