AQUACID pH MINUS preparation for lowering the aquarium water pH value. Preparation for lowering the aquarium water pH value in common and breeding tanks. Acid water is typical of many biotopes inhabited by popular aquarium fish such as discus, angelfish, South American cichlids, characins etc. Maintaining low pH level is obligatory in case of many species of fish. It helps keep them in good health and condition, intensifies their coloration, allows them to spawn and lay eggs.

lowering aquarium water pH-value

AQUACID pH MINUS does not contain phosphoric acid, which may cause algae infestation. Applying the preparation directly into the tank, it is recommended to monitor pH levels with a proper aquarium test. Daily pH changes should not be higher than 0,2 pH. Note that the safest solution is preparing the water intended for change outside the tank and then gradually adding it to the aquarium.

Together with this preparation we recommend: Test 6in1, Test pH 4,5-9,5, Test pH 6,0-7,8, Test GH/KH

Lowering the pH of aquarium water can be necessary for certain fish species that thrive in acidic conditions or if your tap water has a high pH. Here are some methods to lower the pH safely:

1. Peat Moss: Adding peat moss to your aquarium filter can gradually lower pH levels. Peat moss releases tannic acids, which naturally lower pH and soften water.
2. Driftwood: Adding driftwood to your aquarium can also release tannins, similar to peat moss, which helps lower pH. Make sure to use driftwood that is aquarium-safe and has been properly cleaned and cured.
3. Almond Leaves or Catappa Leaves: Like peat moss and driftwood, almond leaves release tannins that lower pH levels. They also have antibacterial properties that can benefit fish health.
4. Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water: Mixing RO water with your tap water can dilute mineral content and lower pH. However, be cautious as pure RO water lacks essential minerals, so it may need to be remineralized for the health of your fish.
5. Commercial pH-lowering Products: There are commercial products available specifically designed to lower pH in aquariums. These products usually contain chemicals like phosphoric acid or citric acid. Follow the instructions carefully to avoid overdosing.
6. Vinegar or Citric Acid: These household acids can be used to lower pH, but they must be used cautiously and in small amounts to avoid drastic pH swings.
