Since no one posts here at all, this is a question for the seachem tech or techs.
I have blood parrot cichlids in my tank and currently my tap water reading is 8.2ph. I'm aiming for a ph from 7.0-7.5. I see that Seachem carries (South am. cichlid. buffer 4.5+) which can be used with the (South am. cichlid buffer 7.0) in order to maintain a ph of anywhere in between there depending on the ratio of buffers added.
Before reading all this I had already bought (Seachem's Neutral Regulator) which does nothing when added in any amount in my 37 gallon tank. But when added to a one gallon bucket of fresh tapwater it lowers to 7.6ph or so which proves to me it works.
Thats just to give you some info. but my real question is can I use the (South American Cichlid 4.5+ buffer) to lower it to 7.0pH and THEN occasionally add (Seachem's Neutral Regulator) and if so will that work well?
Or is it better and more practical to use the South American Cichlid buffer 7.0 with the 4.5+ buffer which are made to work with one another?
And lastly would my already purchased Neutral Regulator work just the same with Acid Regulator as both those South American Seachem buffers do together?
I know that was long but I wanted to make sure you knew what I was trying to get at, and thanks in advance for any replies.
