{"product_id":"acid-buffer-300g","title":"Acid Buffer - 300g","description":"Features Adjusts pH to 5.0—8.0 Designed for use in planted aquariums Converts carbonate alkalinity (KH) into available CO 2 Contains no phosphate Overview Acid Buffer™ is a non–phosphate buffer to lower pH and buffer with Alkaline Buffer™. Both buffers are designed for the planted aquarium or for very hard water where phosphate buffers may pose an algae or cloudiness problem. Acid Buffer™ lowers pH and buffers between 6.0 and 8.0 when used with Alkaline Buffer™. As Acid Buffer™ lowers pH it converts carbonate alkalinity (KH) into available CO 2 . What is the difference between Acid Buffer™ and Acid Regulator™ A: The difference is that Acid Buffer™ is a straight acid source and Acid Regulator™ is a phosphate based buffering system. Acid Regulator™ has a greater ability to maintain a pH as were a straight acid source can have a slight pH drift. When you are trying to avoid any additional phosphates I would go with the Acid Buffer™ and Alkaline Buffer® products but if that is not an issue, then the Acid Regulator™ will maintain a more constant pH.","brand":"Seachem","offers":[{"title":"300 g","offer_id":51845736071489,"sku":"5888","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/8968\/2497\/files\/media_a4f5f556-d8fa-406f-bcbf-e46dc4806f5f.jpg?v=1781641005","url":"https:\/\/lawnandpets.com\/products\/acid-buffer-300g","provider":"Lawn and Pets","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
