Seachem Acid Regulator
Seachem Acid Regulator (250g)
Seachem Acid Regulator lowers and maintains pH in the range of 4.0–6.8, making it the go-to product for soft-water South American and Southeast Asian biotopes. It works by converting carbonates into CO2 and buffering with phosphoric acid salts, producing a consistent acidic pH that resists upward drift between water changes. Pairs directly with Seachem Discus Buffer for tanks requiring precise control of both pH and hardness. Ideal for breeding Discus, wild Angelfish, Dwarf Puffers, Blackwater species, and Southeast Asian rasboras and danios that require soft, acidic conditions.
