It adjusts your aquarium to a neutral pH of 7.0, whether the water starts too high or too low, and holds it there. As it works it also softens the water by precipitating calcium and magnesium, and it removes chlorine and chloramine and detoxifies ammonia, so it conditions tap water at the same time. The liquid form makes dosing quick and mess-free, with no powder to weigh out. Prefer to buy in bulk and mix it yourself?
