Fritz Rift Lake Cichlid Buffer

Description

Fritz Rift Lake Cichlid Buffer is a special blend of carbonate salts formulated to replicate the natural chemistry/habitat of the African Rift Lakes by increasing buffer capacity, alkalinity and pH. When used as directed, Fritz Rift Lake Cichlid Buffer will maintain a pH of 7.8 – 8.4 for Malawi and Victorian Cichlids, and 9.0 – 9.4 for Tanganyikian Cichlids. Fritz Rift Lake Cichlid Buffer will help your cichlids thrive and reproduce while promoting health, growth and intensified color.

Directions & Dosage

Dosages are per 10 U.S. gallons (37.85 liters): Tanganyika: Use 5 g (1 tsp);Malawi: Use 2.5 g (1/2 tsp);Victoria: Use 2.5 g (1/2 tsp).Use the amount indicated for the lake you are wanting to simulate. Initially add daily until the desired pH is reached and maintained.Use as required to maintain pH, usually every 2-3 weeks.

• For best results, use RODI water. If using dechlorinated tap water, measure KH with a suitable test kit, and adjust dose to accommodate current alkalinity level
• For best results, add Rift Lake Cichlid Buffer to RODI water in a separate container before adding water to aquarium.
• No equipment restrictions necessary
• No contraindications: can be used with all of our other products and meds
• Dry products measured by volume (teaspoons, cups, etc) will always give approximate results – use a gram scale if available. If a gram scale is not available, be sure to test for correct concentration after use and observe for any changes in fish behavior.
• Do not change pH by more than 0.2 units per 24 hours. Test with a reliable pH test kit before and after use
• Overdosed? Observe livestock for distress, perform small water changes if needed
