To target a particular pH, use Discus Buffer™ together with Neutral Regulator™ according to the manufacturer’s ratio chart. The chart is intended for unbuffered RO or DI water; where water is already buffered, use it as a starting point. Dechlorinate tap water with Seachem Prime® before carrying out a water change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse with Seachem Neutral Regulator™ when targeting a specific pH during water changes or when adding top-off water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse Seachem Discus Trace™ to restore trace elements required by Discus.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for use with RO or DI water, where there is generally no buffering capacity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFreshwater Discus aquariums where lower pH and reduced general hardness are desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat pH does Seachem Discus Buffer target?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt targets a pH range of 5.8 to 6.8 for Discus aquarium water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much Seachem Discus Buffer should I dose?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nDose 1 level teaspoon (7 g) for every 40-80 L (10-20 gallons*) daily until the intended pH is reached.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow often should I use it once the desired pH is reached?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nUse it once a month or with water changes as required to maintain pH.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use Discus Buffer with tap water?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes, but dechlorinate tap water with Seachem Prime® before performing a water change.
