API Proper pH 7.0 Freshwater pH Stabilizer 8.8-Ounce

I found this product to be very helpful in maintaining my aquarium at7.0. Don’t expect this to be a miracle cure that keeps your tank perfectly at7.0 forever. This is meant to be something that helps you to avoid sudden shifts in pH, maintain a relatively stable pH between tank changes, or helps to bring your pH back to 7.0 when something altered it.

There really is no true way to keep an aquarium exactly at 7.0, and if the pH is changing rapidly that would be an indicator that there is something wrong with the overall water quality of the aquarium. Simply forcing the pH to remain at 7.0 doesn’t mean water changes can be skipped or that overfeeding won’t harm the water quality; all it really means is that the pH is within the ideal range of 7.0. I do bi-weekly water changes in my 40 gallon tank, and between changes I use this to maintain the pH at or around 7.0. My pH will drop to about 6.7 and this brings it back to 7.0, and then by the next water change it will be about 6.7 again until I change the water. This isn’t meant to keep your tank at 7.0 forever, but it works great to help maintain a healthy aquarium.

If you find that this doesn’t dissolve in the aquarium or it leaves the water cloudy you can dissolve it in water before putting it in the tank. I don’t mind the cloudiness because when used in the recommended amounts it only stays cloudy for about 15-20 min as it dissipates into the water. I really don’t see any reason why this would harm your filtration media when used properly. If anything the particles would get stopped in the filtration media which reduces the cloudiness as it continues to dissipate.

This is a good product, as long you don’t expect it to work over night. The way I found worked well was get containers for weekly water changes. Fill the containers the night before a water change, add all your water conditioner, and add this product. This also prevents shock, as the water becomes room temp, giving your thermostat less work to do, This stabilises the water in the containers to 7.0ph. Obviously it’s not an over night fix which some people think it is but give it 2-4 weeks of weekly water changes and you’ll have 7.0ph continuous. Hope this helps

Love this,,, works perfect for my 5 gal betta tank,,,, 🙂 he’s so much more happy now with his proper PH 🙂

I used this stuff years ago and it worked great, now i use it 20years later and its the same product if not better i love api products as they all seem to work to their best for your needs. Thank you amazon.

Helped my aquarium a lot , when my tank was acidic this brought it back to normal ph levels and made my fish happy . Will reccomend it to anyone

Ruins the ph balance. Cannot get it to adjust correctly no matter what I do! I have added the whole bottle and a whole bottle of PH up over the last month and cannot get the ph above 6.4 max. Guess I am going to have to drain tank and start over to get rid of this stuff!!
