Review on Seachem 116042604 Betta Basics 250Ml by Kayla Guzman

This product appears to adjust the pH to 7.4 instead of 7.0 as advertised. The amount of dosage per gallon is huge. You need to use about 1/3 cup Betta Basics per 5 gallons. You will burn off this material very quickly compared to Seachem Prime which only requires a few drops. I tried using this product to lower the pH from 7.8 to 7.0. After 1 dose, my pH stabilized at 7.4; after 3 more doses it was still at pH 7.4. My water isn't that hard so this product should have had no problem buffering my pH. As an experiment, I added Betta Basics to tap water with a pH of 7.0. Instead of keeping the pH at 7.0 as it should have been, he increased the pH to 7.4. Get more for your money with Prime, 100 ml / 3.4 fl. Ounce instead of Betta Base.
