Amazon Customer: We used to use the Prime and PH increase to get our tanks right. This product is like a two for one and is working amazingly. We've been using it for months without any problems. Will buy again.

michael brady: This works wonders with leveling the PH and conditioning the water. I have always had a chlorine smell in the tap water here and PH at 8.7-9, this keeps it closer to 7.3. BE CAREFUL WHEN USING IT FOR SHRIMP, since it takes out minerals and changes the water drastically.

Thiago Nascimento: Após o uso com a quantidade recomendada houve uma redução de ph de 8,5 para 7,7. Entretanto após alguns dias, o ph voltou a subir ficando próximo de 8,1. Não tenho elementos alcalinizante na água. Talvez alguma característica da água que uso impeça que o ph mantenha-se em 7 😔. Enfim, melhorou mas não resolveu.

Penny: In my main tank (240L, freshwater, planted, fish), with a KH of 4, I've had wild pH swings continually for the past 40 days. I kept dosing with Acid Buffer which brought it down to 6.8 but every 2-3 days it would be over 7.6 again. I found Neutral Regulator here and thought it couldn't hurt to give it a go. I dosed it once, and since then (5 days), it has been 7.0 steadily since then. I am very happy.
As a bonus, although the manufacturer advises caution with using this in planted tanks, a bunch of my plants have been continually pearling since I dosed this - a sign of happy plants.

However, in my quarantine tank (40L, freshwater, empty), the pH was at about 7.8. As I plan to throw the water away once I finish the cycle, it was safe to experiment in. I tried to bring the pH down solely using Neutral Regulator. I started slowly, and then worked up to massively dosing it with 12 teaspoons over several days. It had zero visible effect on the pH at all. I had to use Acid Buffer to bring it to 7.0 and then Neutral Regulator has kept it there consistently.

So from my minimal experimentation - I won't use this again to change the pH, but will continue to use it to keep...

C. Wilson: First of all, the product does seem to work by some degree, but the rock water of LA county seems to give it a real run around and does some other odd things. This review touches two different topics.

If you are at all serous about keeping fish, to hear my tapwater is naturally PH of 8.2 will make you cringe. It also has a KH of 5 and a GH of 7 by the API test I have. I keep a 10 gallon tank that is lightly planted with a dirt and aquasoil substrate. The directions for the product say to use 1tsp for a 10-20 gal tank to maintain a PH of 7, "or more as necessary," of which I mix into my changing water. Here's the kicker though: I use 1/2 tsp per GALLON to achieve only a PH of 7.6. That is what? 500% the recommended dose? And that is just the straight tapwater in a gallon jug I use during water changes, not actual tank PH (which has never been below a 7.6 save for about a 6 week period when I added Fluval Stratum, to which now has burnt out and stopped buffering.) And although it doesn't seem to change my GH, it sure does change the KH of the water, going up to a 13.5, which in some ways makes sense, but still! Further more, in my test so far, it seems doubling the dose to 1...

Amazon Customer: Seachem is my favourite aquarium company so that’s why I trusted this to be a good product - and it is! However I was a little confused by it and I’m not sure if this is legit but this is my experience:

So I’ve been setting up a new aquarium. I know that a slower and gradual pH change is what you have to do for you fish so they don’t get a shock to the system however I am busy cycling a brand new tank and for some reason I thought this product would work instantly but it does take a little time to bring the pH down. It never seemed to bring the pH down even after a double dose. I tested the water from my aquarium about a week later and it HAD actually lowered. I live in mountains where our water is very hard so It’s understandable that it would take a bit to work however I just thought it would be quicker so maybe don’t always expect that! No other issues, Seachem is still my go to company :)
