pH Down is a liquid pH lowering product for freshwater aquariums. pH Down lowers pH by neutralizing carbonate hardness in the water. Adjusting the pH to the proper level will improve fish health, disease resistance, coloration and breeding. While many common aquarium fish will live in water with a pH range of 6.8 to 7.5, a pH of 7.0 is ideal for a community aquarium containing a variety of freshwater fish. Live bearers like mollies and swordtails prefer a higher pH of 7.2-7.6. Acid-loving fish such as angelfish and neon tetras prefer a lower pH of 6.5 6.8. Each dose of pH Down neutralizes some of the carbonate hardness and lowers the pH. The pH may rebound up to the original pH if the carbonate hardness is high. Several consecutive treatments with pH Down may be necessary to lower pH, but if there are fish present in the aquarium, the pH should not be changed more than .2 in a 24 hour period. The number of doses required to lower the pH will depend on the carbonate hardness level and the desired pH level. An aquarium with low carbonate hardness may require one treatment with pH Down while an aquarium with a high carbonate level will require several.

2Ignorance is not bliss; it is cause for concern  Jan 23, 2007
By 231bridge
Perhaps this would be a satisfactory complement to the arsenal of the novice aquarist who desires a simple solution to a potentially complex problem and who has no other pets and no children or grandchildren. For the rest of us, who arm ourselves and defend our family members--finned, furred, or bipedal--with knowledge, this product is unsatisfactory because the chemical composition of the contents of the bottle is not printed on the bottle's label. Assume that the box and its enclosed insert were dropped into the aquarium (by the small child who was to learn compassionate responsibility by caring for the fish) and were thereby rendered useless years ago. What should be done if--God forbid--the nurse on the other end of the phone line asks what chemical was ingested? The space that was taken up by instructions (in three languages) to read the insert that is no longer readable could--and should--have been used instead to identify the composition of the chemical in the bottle.
