I use it because my water out of the tap is 7.0 this product helped me get and keep my ph at 8.2 (what it should be for African cichlids) **Q: Are you able to use this in a tank with live plants?** A: Yes. **Q: Is the Malawi/Victoria buffer the same as the neutral regulator by seachem** A: No. The cichlids require the higher pH that this buffer produces (7.8-8.4). Don't use the neutral regulator with African cichlids. **Q: How many gallons could the whole cantainer treat** A: That is very hard to determine. It depends on what ph the water you are treating is to start with. The lower your water sources ph is the more you will need. My tap water is 7.0 I use this for every water change to bring the water to 8.2. I changed about 30 gallons a week and my last container lasted around 10 months. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***N on 25 November 2025* Seachem Malawi buffer a all round top product that buffers ph in mbuna cichlids tank to hold ph in the high 8 would not be without it forget cheap alternative stick with the best ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by M***4 on 14 October 2025* Good Product ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by K***R on 26 January 2025* I swear by this product. I have been using for 5 years since keeping african cichlids. Keeps the PH levels for my african cichlids at the pefect balance, without waver. Without it, the ph levels drop and so does their health. It is of utmost importance in keeping your tank healthy and the fish happy. Best product by far for PH balance for your african cichlids. ## Frequently Bought Together - Malawi/Victoria Buffer, 1.2 kg / 2.6 lbs - Cichlid Lake Salt, 1 kg / 2.2 lbs - Seachem Cichlid Trace Elements 500ml --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.id/products/254347802-seachem-malawi-victoria-buffer-1-2-kg-2-6-lbs](https://www.desertcart.id/products/254347802-seachem-malawi-victoria-buffer-1-2-kg-2-6-lbs) --- *Product available on Desertcart Indonesia* *Store origin: ID* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
