Kent Liquid AF Cichlid Malawi & Mixed Cichlid Buffer

pH buffer and alkalinity or carbonate hardness (KH) adjusting system designed for Malawian and Victorian cichlids. Also works well for many American cichlids whose native waters have high pH's of above 7.8. Provides a stable pH environment. Compatible with and designed for use with Liquid A F Cichlid Chemistry and A F Cichlid Rift Lake Trace Elements by Kent Marine®. Free of polluting nitrates, phosphates, and organic chemicals! Important: Read use & interaction on opposite side bar!

Directions: Add 10 ml per 40 gallons aquarium capacity each day, in a high flow area of the aquarium, until target alkalinity is reached. Add in the morning to prevent overshoot of pH. (Caps on 8 oz. and 16 oz. bottles equal 5 ml, cap on 64 oz. equals 10 ml). For best results, use with Kent Liquid AF Cichlid Chemistry and AF Cichlid Rift Lake Trace Elements.

Considerations for use: For initial setup, or for water changes, use Liquid A F Cichlid Chemistry by Kent as directed on its label. An alkalinity of 175 to 225 ppm or 10° to 12° dKH (Karbonathaerte or German degrees of carbonate hardness) is recommended for Malawian and Victorian cichlid aquariums. Test alkalinity and adjust the recommended dose for your particular system! Do not exceed 1/2 ml of this product per gallon per 12 hour period. Next: Wait at least 24 hours for pH to stabilize and measure. It is unlikely pH will need adjustment, but, it can be lowered with phosphate free pH•CONTROL MINUS or raised with phosphate free pH•CONTROL PLUS. Liquid A F Cichlid Buffer will resist fluctuations in pH to provide a more stable environment for the fish. Recommended pH is 8.2 to 8.6 for mixed Africans, 7.8 to 8.6 for Malawi cichlids and 7.8 to 9.0 for Victoria cichlids. After target alkalinity and pH are reached, use at 2 week intervals to maintain proper values. Use Kent® A F Cichlid Rift Lake Trace Elements regularly to replace minerals lost to filtration and removed by inhabitants. Kent® spirulina-rich Freshwater Zoe added to food will supply needed vitamins. Regular water changes are recommended.


Contents: Deionized water containing carbonate, bicarbonate, sulfate and borate salts with trace minerals.
