Description
Seachem Gold Buffer 300g
Goldfish require a slighly alkaline environment of pH 7.2 – 7.8 to thrive. The challenge of producing an alkaline environment is algae grow. Hence, Seachem Gold Buffer uses a non-phosphate formula which raises water pH without promoting algae growth.
Gold Buffer helps to maintain water at an ideal alkaline pH for goldfish survival, and will not promote algae growth.
Depending on dosage, Gold Buffer raises pH and buffers between 7.2 and 7.8. It is safe for freshwater environment.

Directions
Use 1 level teaspoon for every 40 L (10 US gallons) daily until desired pH is reached. If water is soft or not well buffered, use half dose. Gold Buffer will slowly raise pH. It will not lower pH. It may be added directly to the aquarium at any time. It preferentially buffers at pH 7.8, but can manage any pH between 7.2 and 7.8.
Seachem Gold Buffer 300g for SG Goldfish Keepers
Goldfish do best in slightly alkaline water, and Seachem Gold Buffer raises and holds pH in the goldfish-friendly range using a non-phosphate formula, so you are not feeding algae while you stabilise the chemistry. That phosphate-free design is a real plus in our warm, bright homes where algae establishes readily. It is a straightforward way to nudge soft local water up to a level that suits goldfish better.
Singapore tap water tends to be soft and can drift slightly acidic, particularly in tanks with driftwood or building up organic load, so a goldfish setup can sit lower than ideal without intervention. We recommend adjusting gradually and checking pH as you go rather than dosing in one go, since goldfish handle stable water far better than sudden swings. Pair it with regular water changes to keep the buffer working steadily.
Find it in our conditioners and medication range. Our goldfish care guide and the water hardness explained article cover the parameters that matter most.
