TANGANYIKA BUFFER 20 KG

Tanganyika Buffer™ Seachem 20 kg – Mineral Buffer for Lake Tanganyika Cichlids

Tanganyika Buffer™ Seachem is a blend of buffering salts specifically formulated to recreate the unique chemical parameters of Lake Tanganyika. It increases and stabilizes the pH and alkalinity to provide a perfectly suited environment for the cichlids of this African lake.

Main Features

Role and Functioning

Lake Tanganyika is characterized by extremely alkaline and well-buffered water. Tanganyika Buffer™ allows for the reproduction of this chemical stability by increasing carbonate alkalinity (KH), an essential condition for the health, growth, and natural behavior of Tanganyikan cichlids.

This buffer limits pH fluctuations, reduces physiological stress, and promotes stable long-term maintenance, even in densely populated aquariums.

Aquarium Compatibility

This product is specifically intended for aquariums hosting:

• Lake Tanganyika cichlids.
• Endemic species requiring high and stable pH.

It is not suitable for Amazonian, Asian, marine, or reef aquariums.

Usage and Dosage

Tanganyika Buffer™ is used during the preparation of new water. It is recommended to dissolve the product separately before introducing it into the aquarium.

The dosage depends on the initial pH and alkalinity as well as the target values. For a complete reproduction of Lake Tanganyika water, the concurrent use of Cichlid Lake Salt™ Seachem is highly recommended.

Precautions for Use

Do not add directly into the aquarium without prior dissolution. Systematically check the pH and KH after adjustment. Do not use in combination with acidifying products.
