It is best to dissolve the buffer in freshwater before use. Use when setting up an aquarium or making water changes (preferably after the addition of Seachem's Cichlid Lake Saltª) and between water changes as needed to maintain pH. Seachem's Malawi/Victoria Bufferª is formulated to maintain a pH between 7.8 and 8.4, depending on the amount used.
