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 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Seachem Malawi buffer *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 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to use and reliable *by C***K on 6 October 2022* Use this on my 400L Malawi tank.
