Seachem Discus Buffer – 50 g Soft Water pH Conditioner for Discus & Tropical Fish

Seachem Discus Buffer – 50 g Soft Water pH Conditioner for Discus & Tropical Fish

Seachem Discus Buffer (50 g) is a professional-grade pH conditioner formulated to safely lower and stabilize pH between 5.8 and 6.8, ideal for Discus and other soft-water tropical species. It gently softens water by converting carbonate hardness (KH) into available CO₂, promoting a stable, acidic environment that closely mimics the natural Amazon River habitat.

This phosphate-based formula enhances vitality, coloration, and spawning behavior in sensitive species like Discus, Angelfish, Apistogramma, and Cardinal Tetras. Use during water changes or routine maintenance to maintain consistent water chemistry.

💧 Key Features:

• Lowers and stabilizes pH between 5.8–6.8
• Ideal for Discus, Angelfish, and South American species
• Softens water by reducing carbonate hardness (KH)
• Helps replicate natural Amazon conditions
• Easy to dose and safe for all freshwater aquariums
