ZOOLEK Aqua Test pH (7.4-9.0)

ZOOLEK Aqua Test pH 7.4 – 9.0 is used for measurement and control of pH in seawater and freshwater within the alkaline range with an accuracy of 0.2. A simple pH measurement method involves adding a few drops of indicator to the water sample, and then matching the obtained colour with a corresponding colour scale and reading the result.

Why measure pH?
Proper and relatively stable water pH-value is one of the most important parameters in determining the necessary conditions for healthy fish life, especially in the case of saltwater aquariums.
pH value in the range of 6.0-8.0 is suitable for majority of fish; however some species require more acidic water (e.g. Characidae and Ciprinidae – pH 5.0-6.0), other may require more alkaline water (e.g. Cichlids from the African lake of Malawi – pH of 7.8-8.3). Too high a water pH may cause alkalosis, and too low acidosis. No violent water pH value changes are acceptable in an aquarium with fish, particularly in case of fry and during a period of fish development. To correct pH in marine aquariums, it is highly recommended to use preparations designed for seawater.
