Seachem Tanganyika Buffer (250g) – Pet Supply UAE

Recreate the authentic natural environment for your cherished African cichlids with Seachem Tanganyika Buffer, a meticulously crafted blend of carbonate salts. This specialised formula is designed to precisely enhance alkalinity, carbonate hardness, and buffer capacity, directly influencing and maintaining the ideal pH range of 9.0–9.4. By stabilising these crucial water parameters, Tanganyika Buffer ensures a thriving and stress-free habitat, vital for the vibrant health and active behaviours of your Tanganyikan cichlids. For a complete and authentic ecosystem, pair this buffer with Seachem’s Cichlid Lake Salt, Cichlid Trace, and NutriDiet Cichlid Flakes.

Achieving and maintaining the perfect pH is straightforward: use 5g (1 level teaspoon) for each 40–80 L (10–20 US gallons) of water daily until your desired pH is attained. Thereafter, apply as needed, typically once every two to three weeks, to consistently maintain stability. For best results, dissolve the buffer in freshwater before adding it to your aquarium, especially when setting up a new tank or performing water changes. If a lower pH is desired, Tanganyika Buffer can be used in combination with or entirely replaced by Seachem’s Malawi/Victoria Buffer (pH 7.8–8.4), offering precise control over your cichlid’s aquatic environment.
