Discus Buffer

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 required by 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.

Available Sizes

50 g, 250 g, 500 g, 1 kg, 4 kg, 20 kg, 100 kg

Directions

Use 1 level teaspoon (7 g) for every 40-80 L (10-20 gallons*) daily until intended pH is reached. Thereafter, use once a month or with water changes as required to maintain pH. To raise pH, use Neutral Regulator™. To target a particular pH use in combination with Neutral Regulator™ following the chart below. 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.

Use these ratios to target pH

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
