Acid Buffer is a non-phosphate buffer
that lowers pH and buffer with Alkaline Buffer. Both buffers are designed for
the planted aquarium or for very hard water, where phosphate buffers may pose an
algae or cloudiness problem. Acid buffer lowers pH and buffers between 5.0 and
8.0 when used with Alkaline Buffer. As Acid Buffer lowers pH it converts
carbonate alkalinity (kH) into available CO2. Treats up to 16,960 gallons of
water.
Instructions:
To lower pH - use 1/4 teaspoon to every 20 gallons of water daily until intended
pH is reached (this dose lower alkalinity by about 0.2 meg/L(0.6dkh). Best if
added directly to aquarium.
