SeachemÕs Liquid Tanganyika Bufferª is a blend of carbonate salts designed to enhance the natural environment of cichlids by increasing hardness, buffer capacity, and pH. It is formulated to maintain a pH of 9.0Ð9.4. For optimum replication of the Tanganyikan environment, use with Cichlid Lake Saltª (liquid or dry version).DIRECTIONS: Use 2 capfuls (10 mL) for every 40ÊL (10Êgallons) until desired pH is attained. Thereafter, use as required to maintain pH. (Note: The 2 4 L containerÕs cap is 10 mL). TIPS: Check pH after each dose to be sure you do not exceed your desired pH. If pH is exceeded, you can use Acid Bufferª to lower pH. Works best when used in aquaria employing SeachemÕs C - UPC: 116058308
