  • Maintains the ideal pH for goldfish (7.2–7.8)
  • Non-phosphate buffer
  • Will not promote algae growth

Gold Buffer™ is a non–phosphate buffer that will maintain the ideal pH for goldfish while not enhancing algae growth. Depending on dosage, Gold Buffer™ raises pH and buffers between 7.2 and 7.8. It is gentle, safe, and enhances the freshwater environment. Contains sodium, potassium, magnesium, and other bicarbonate salts. For dechlorination use Gold Basics™. For further goldfish environment enhancement, use Gold Trace™ to restore the proper level of trace elements

Directions

Use 1 level teaspoon for every 40 L (10 US gallons) daily until desired pH is reached. If water is soft or not well buffered, use half dose. Gold Buffer™ will slowly raise pH. It will not lower pH. It may be added directly to the aquarium at any time. It preferentially buffers at pH 7.8, but can manage any pH between 7.2 and 7.8.

Richard ★★★★★

My goldfish used to get stressed after water changes, but since using this buffer the pH sits right in that 7.2–7.8 range. Love that it’s non-phosphate so I’m not feeding algae.

Mia ★★★★☆

I was tired of algae blooms from other buffers, so switching to this non-phosphate version has been a relief. My goldfish tank stays steady at 7.6 now, though it took a couple of days to dial in the dose.

Chloe Y. ★★★★☆

The pH in my tank kept creeping up no matter what I tried, but this has held it steady in the 7.2–7.8 range for three weeks now. It's nice that it's phosphate-free so I don't have to worry about extra algae on the glass.
