Seachem Tanganyika Buffer – 250 g Lake Tanganyika Water Conditioner

Seachem Tanganyika Buffer – 250 g Lake Tanganyika Water Conditioner

Seachem Tanganyika Buffer (250 g) is a professional-grade water conditioner designed to raise and maintain pH between 9.0 and 9.4, replicating the unique chemistry of Lake Tanganyika. Perfect for African cichlid keepers, it helps maintain stable water parameters essential for the health, coloration, and breeding of sensitive Rift Lake species.

This blend of carbonates and bicarbonates increases alkalinity (KH) and buffering capacity, preventing dangerous pH swings while promoting biological balance. It’s phosphate-free and completely safe for all freshwater fish that thrive in hard, alkaline water.

💧 Key Features:

• Formulated to replicate Lake Tanganyika’s natural conditions
• Raises and stabilizes pH to 9.0–9.4
• Increases carbonate hardness (KH) and general hardness (GH)
• Phosphate-free—won’t encourage algae growth
• Ideal for African Cichlids and similar hard-water species

📦 Product Details:

• Size: 250 g (treats up to 2,000 gallons)
