## Overview

API PROPER pH 7.5 Freshwater Aquarium Water pH Stabilizer is a 260g powder formula designed to set and maintain a stable pH of 7.5 in freshwater tanks. It detoxifies tap water by neutralizing chlorine, chloramines, and heavy metals, creating a safe, healthy environment for fish like goldfish, guppies, and mollies. Ideal for new setups, water changes, or pH adjustments, this trusted API product ensures vibrant, stress-free aquatic life.

## Description

pH is the measure of acidity of water, on a scale ranging from 0 to 14. A pH of 0 is the most acidic, while a pH of 14 is the most alkaline. Water with a pH of 7. 0 is considered "neutral". Different geographies have different tap water conditions with different pH levels, while fish require a specific pH level to thrive. API PROPER pH 7. 5 Freshwater Aquarium pH Stabilizer automatically sets and stabilizes the pH level in freshwater aquariums to 7. 5 which is perfect for Goldfish, Guppies, Barbs, Swordtails, Platies and Mollies. API PROPER pH 7. 5 Freshwater Aquarium pH Stabilizer also removes toxic compounds from tap water such as chlorine, neutralizes chloramines, detoxifies heavy metals, and adds electrolytes, making tap water safe for fish. Use this aquarium treatment when setting up a new aquarium, adjusting pH, or changing water. pH in an aquarium can fluctuate due to fish waste, uneaten food and addition of tap water. It is recommended to test water for pH weekly. With API Aquarium products, it’s easy to keep a beautiful saltwater, freshwater or reef aquarium. For over 50 years, API has been creating innovative, research-driven solutions that make it easier to care for your fish and aquarium. API Aquarium Treatment Supplies are designed to work in conjunction with each other to provide best results to control algae, promote healthy bacterial growth and help control and cure fish diseases and conditions such as ich and fin rot. They work to provide a safe, hospitable environment for fish such as tropical community fish, cichlids, goldfish and more. With API, you can spend more time admiring your fish, and less time scrubbing your tank. Make sure to use all products as directed in order to ensure the best results.

Review: Great product - Does it's job I'll buy again soon
Review: Kept my fish alive - I had fish for a good few months because of this! The water in my location varied a lot in its pH, so it helped me adjust the alkalinity of the water. The fish died for an unrelated reason (a neglectful fish sitter). Starting up a new tank soon and will definitely purchase again.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this a good ph buffer 7.5 for rasbora fish or should i use the product that buffers to 7?**
A: between 6.8 and 7.8

**Q: Just received product and have not used yet. But I was curious if it’s normal to have no seal under the lid?**
A: Mine came without a seal, but it was clearly used (had debris in it, including a small screw-on bottle cap).

**Q: How often do you have to use this? Daily? Or with weekly water changes?**
A: The intended affect of a buffer is to "set" the pH.  Once it's added, you shouldn't have to add it again for weeks, unless you do a water change.  So, if you measure the your pH, and it's starting to drift from 7.5, or you do a water change, it's time to add the buffer again.  I have goldfish.  So I do weekly 75% water changes.  I add my buffer as I'm refilling the tank.  If you do smaller water changes, you may want to dose for the volume of water you're replacing, not the entire tank volume.

**Q: Does this kill plants**
A: It did not kill my plants.  I have both live plants and artificial in my tropical tank.  I use the Proper pH 7.5 to help maintain the pH for that tank.  It stays around 6.8 with this.  I use the Proper pH 8.2 in my goldfish tank to help keep that pH at about 7.2. the proper pH 7.5 was not strong enough to maintain my goldfish tank.   I have lots of live plants in that tank as well.  My plants are fine.  Just watch the pH.  You will probably have to titrate the amount needed to your tank and your fish.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product
*by I***T on December 9, 2025*

Does it's job I'll buy again soon

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kept my fish alive
*by B***A on August 28, 2025*

I had fish for a good few months because of this! The water in my location varied a lot in its pH, so it helped me adjust the alkalinity of the water. The fish died for an unrelated reason (a neglectful fish sitter). Starting up a new tank soon and will definitely purchase again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not bad, prefer Seachem line
*by C***Y on August 20, 2025*

I am a long time user of Seachem Neutral Regulator and other products in my show tanks. This didn't seem to hold as well. My water is naturally acidic well water. I also have to boost it up with Alkaline Regulator to get the right targets, depending on which tank mates. Know your incoming water and check it, before use and after to see the difference, and monitor your tank.
