Review on 🌊 Seachem Acid Buffer 300g: Powerful Water Conditioning Formula for pH Adjustment by Joe Patterson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Causes a large algal bloom.

I bought this product based on positive customer reviews because I have a low tech aquarium with a very high PH. I lowered the PH from 8+ to 7 and within 2 weeks there was a massive algal bloom turning the aquarium into swamp water. Not sure what I did wrong, but I was hoping since it's a non-phosphate buffer, algal blooms wouldn't be a problem. I changed 90% of the water and the water is still cloudy. I really like Seachem products and they lower the PH, the side effects don't make it worth it to me. The instructions leave a lot of room for improvement.
