EIHO Buffer pH 6.5 220g (stabilise pH at 6.5)

Description

Buffer pH 6.5 – Adjust pH to 6.5 safely
For tetras, angels, discus fishes

Buffer pH 6.5 is a formulated buffer to adjust and maintain pH of water to 6.5 up to 50 days. Most freshwater fishes, such as tetras, angelfishes, discus, German rams, will love and thrive under this pH range of 6.4-7.0.

WHY IS BUFFER IMPORTANT? It helps to maintain and prevent large pH swings in aquaria which can cause huge, sudden loss in livestock. Buffer pH 6.5 is a mix of phosphate buffer safe for use on most freshwater community fishes. It also helps to soften water in overly hard water by precipitating calcium and magnesium. Buffer pH 6.5 can be use during water change or when needed to adjust pH to 6.5.

Directions

Use 5ml (5g) for 60-150L. Can be added once daily until pH needed is reached. The pH can be maintained for 30-50 days. During water change, please add quantity needed for water that has been replaced.

EIHO Buffer pH 6.5 for tetras, angels and discus in SG tanks

This phosphate-based buffer holds pH around 6.5, the range in which tetras, angelfish, discus and German rams thrive, and it can maintain that level for roughly 30-50 days. We find it useful for Singapore keepers because our tap water is soft and only mildly acidic, which means pH can drift unpredictably; a buffer gives soft-water community fish a stable home and guards against the sudden pH swings that cause livestock loss.

Dose around 5ml per 60-150L, adding once daily until you reach the target, and top up for the volume replaced at each water change. As a bonus it helps soften overly hard water by precipitating calcium and magnesium. Avoid using a phosphate buffer in heavily planted tanks where the added phosphate can fuel algae, and never chase a number blindly; measure first and adjust gradually so your fish acclimate.
