Is this a bicarbonate buffer? Or phosphate?
Answer by • Oct 22, 2017
This product is a phosphate buffer.
can I use this for my Betta fish
Answer by • Mar 28, 2022
This would not be recommended for a betta fish. Bettas prefer calm water with a pH between 6.8 and 7.5. The ideal pH level for betta fish is 7.0.
do I have to remove my fish to use this, and is it safe for plants
Answer by • Mar 28, 2022
The fish do not need to be removed from the aquarium during treatment. The API Brand of products are meant to be added to aquariums that include their inhabitants. Simply be sure to follow the directions on the packaging as far a dosage amounts and frequency of dosing, so that your wet pets remain safe. The powders in API Proper pH 7.5 bind to some trace elements which are needed as nutrients by live plants. Therefore, we do not recommend using these API Proper pH powders with live aquarium plants.
How much of this stuff do you have to add to a 75g aquarium to get it to work?
Answer by • Jan 01, 2020
Add 1 scoop for every 10 gallons of aquarium water. Repeat dose when pH test indicates a pH change of more than 0.2. Normally, one dose will set the pH. Some tap water sources used in freshwater aquariums are strongly buffered at pH 8.0 and above. In this case, two doses of API PROPER PH may be required to overcome the buffer system and reset the pH to a desirable level.
