Seachem Discus Buffer 4kg (pH 5.8 - 6.8)
Discus Buffer™ helps to replicate the ideal Discus environment (low pH & low GH (General Hardness)). Discus Buffer™ will lower pH and keep it lowered. Discus Buffer™ also softens water by precipitating calcium and magnesium. Use Discus Trace™ to restore the proper level of trace elements required by thriving, healthy Discus.
Neutral Regulator™ and Discus Buffer™ can be used in combination to achieve a desired pH when performing water changes or adding top off water. The ratio chart below is designed for reverse osmosis (r/o) water where there is generally no buffering capacity.
Sizes: 50g, 250g, 500g, 1kg, 4kg
Directions
Use 1 level teaspoon (7g) for every 40-80L daily until intended pH is reached. Thereafter, use once a month or with water changes as required to maintain pH.
To raise pH, use Neutral Regulator™.
To target a particular pH use in combination with Neutral Regulator™ following the chart below. This chart assumes the use of unbuffered water (RO or DI). If water is already buffered use the chart as a starting guide. Use Prime® to dechlorinate tap water before doing a water change.
Use these ratios to target pH
Neutral Regulator | | Discus Buffer | Target pH |
1 | : | 1 | 6.8 |
1 | : | 2 | 6.4 |
1 | : | 3 | 6.2 |
1 | : | 4 | 6.1 |
1 | : | 6 | 6.0 |
