Works great for African Cichlids
Saw this online while looking for something to stop wild pH drops in my brackish setup. Dropped a scoop in during the weekly water change and it automatically stabilized everything without any fuss.

Good helper for my marine setup
Gifted this 7.4-ounce bottle to my brother for his birthday since he keeps getting worried about tank chemistry. He tried it out and it keeps the alkalinity right where it needs to be. Delivery was quick too.
FAQs
Is 8.2 pH too high for an aquarium?
A pH of 8.2 is not too high if you are keeping species that naturally require alkaline conditions, such as African Cichlids, brackish water species, and marine saltwater fish. However, it is too high for soft-water or community freshwater fish and should never be used in tanks with live plants.
What are the ideal uses for API Proper pH 8.2?
This water stabilizer is specifically formulated for African Cichlid tanks, brackish environments, and marine saltwater aquariums where a higher, stable alkaline pH level is required to keep fish healthy and colorful.
How do I apply this pH stabilizer to my fish tank?
You should pre-dissolve the powder in a separate cup filled with aquarium water before pouring it into your tank. Use it during initial setup, routine water changes, or when you notice a pH drift greater than 0.2.
