MICROBE-LIFT® 7.5 pH Buffer Stabilizer holds your pond at pH 7.5 and stops the wide swings that stress koi — particularly the overnight drop that catches out ponds with heavy plant growth or low alkalinity.
What it does
- Buffers pH and prevents wide pH swings
- Two pH buffers, for gentle rather than abrupt correction
- Three electrolytes to help maintain osmotic balance
- Provides the alkalinity nitrification needs — a filter in soft, low-alkalinity water stalls
Dosage
- Four level scoops (scoop included) per 120 gallons of pond water.
- Adjust pH to 7.5 first, then use this to hold it there.
- 1 lb treats over 800 gallons.
- Do not mix with other chemicals before adding to the pond — add it on its own.
Note on which version this is
Microbe-Lift makes two 7.5 buffers, a pond formula and an aquarium formula, and they dose differently. This is the pond formula — use the dose above, not the per-10-gallon aquarium rate you may find online.
Why buy from ChampKoi?
ChampKoi has kept koi healthy from our San Jose, California facility since 1998. Test your KH as well as your pH — chasing pH without alkalinity behind it is a losing game, and we're happy to talk it through.
