- Allows you to conduct over 300 tests, giving you a thorough understanding of the pH levels in your aquarium
- Maintaining the appropriate pH balance is crucial for the health, colouration, and breeding potential of your fish
- The kit includes Bromothymol Blue to test the pH level, along with pH Up and pH Down powders to adjust the pH level to your desired range
- Different fish species have varying pH preferences, and this kit allows you to create an environment that suits the needs of your specific fish
- To make pH testing easy, the kit provides a colour chart on the box
- Simply compare the colour of the water sample to the chart to determine the pH level
- A green colour on the chart indicates a more neutral pH, which is generally recommended for a diverse range of fish species
- Yellow represents an acidic pH, while blue signifies an alkaline pH
- The intensity of these colours indicates the distance from neutral
- Should you need to correct acid water, the 'pH Up' powder should be used
- On the other hand, if you need to correct alkaline water, the 'pH Down' powder is recommended
- These powders allow for precise adjustments to achieve the desired pH level in your aquarium
- Suitable for tropical fish and goldfish in freshwater aquariums and ponds

Note
- Please note that it is important to follow the instructions provided with the kit and consult with a veterinarian or aquatic specialist for specific guidance on adjusting the pH level based on the requirements of your fish species

Directions For Use
- Rinse the test tube in aquarium water first, ideally the water about to be tested
- Half-fill the test tube and add two drops of the solution
- Add the cap; do not use your finger to cover as this may alter the reading
- Shake and allow a minute to view the colour
- Compare this to the chart on the box
- Adjust the pH as required by following the directions below
Adjusting pH
- Using the powders always starts with 1 tablespoon per 30L
- Allow about 1 hour then re-test and repeat as needed
- Do not alter quickly as fish may be shocked by the change
- It is better to alter slowly over a few days where possible
- If no fish are present adjust as quickly as needed
Important
- Avoid extreme acid or extremely alkaline aquarium water
- We recommend regular monthly water changes of approximately 25% of tank capacity to regulate pH and avoid the accumulation of toxic waste by-products
