Discus Buffer® Adjusts pH to 5.8 - 6.8 Helps to replicate the ideal Discus environment Use with Neutral Regulator® to target a pH 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 and feed NutriDiet® Discus Flakes for 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 r/o water where there is generally no buffering capacity. Directions Use 1 level teaspoon (5 g) for every 40-80 L (10-20 US gallons) daily until intended pH is reached. Thereafter, use once a month or with water changes as required to maintain pH. For precise dosing use the Seachem Digital Spoon Scale. To raise pH, use Neutral Regulator®. To target a particular pH use in combination with Neutral Regulator® following the chart. 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. To target a particular pH use in combination with Neutral Regulator® following the chart Neutral Regulator Discus Buffer pH 1 1 6.8 1 2 6.4 1 3 6.2 1 4 6.1 1 6 6.0 1 9 5.8 Contains phosphate buffers and conditioning agents. Safe for all freshwater fish acclimated to acid pH.
