NT Labs Broad pH Test Kit, Measures pH Levels Between 6 and 9, Aquarium Water Test Kit, Pond Water Testing Kit (Contains 40 Freshwater Tests)

• 【 MONITORS pH IN AQUARIUM AND POND WATER】: The Broad Range pH Test is for testing water within the pH range of 6 – 9. This pH test now covers the pH range more likely observed in your aquarium/pond and also offers improved precision with 0.5 unit determination.
• 【 EASY TO USE】: Ensure the test tube is clean. Take a 5ml sample of water into the test tube. Add 5 drops of the pH reagent; replace the test tube cap and shake thoroughly. Compare the colour of your sample to the colour scale provided.
• 【 WHAT IS THE IDEAL pH LEVEL? 】: There is no correct pH as different fish species have their preferred pH range. Generally, the ideal pH value will lie between 7 and 8. When purchasing fish from your local aquatic retailer, always enquire as to their specific water requirements. If you do need to adjust the pH of your aquarium, it is vital to do this slowly to not shock the fish. Change no more than 0.5 pH units per 2 days. Providing your tap water is of suitable pH, substantial water changes can correct a dangerous pH level. It is also important to check the KH of the aquarium.
• 【 ACCURATE LIQUID DROP TESTS 】: All NT Labs water testing kits are liquid drop tests from a dropper bottle to ensure the drops are the same size. This method of testing is significantly more precise compared to using dip strips. The use of liquid reagents guarantees accurate and dependable results for each parameter, simplifying the process of monitoring and maintaining ideal water conditions in your aquarium.
• 【 SUITABLE FOR ALL AQUARISTS 】: The ease of use of NT Labs Test Kits means they are perfect for use by beginners and seasoned aquarists alike.

The NT Labs Broad pH Test Kit comes complete with test tube and liquid reagents to provide accurate results for 40 tests. pH is the measure of the acidity or alkalinity of the water in your pond. Most fish prefer the water to be between 7 and 8 and fluctuations outside these values can cause stress to the fish. What is pH? The new Broad Range pH Test is for testing water within the pH range of 6 – 9. This pH test now covers the pH range more likely observed in your pond or aquarium and also offers improved precision with 0.5 unit determination. What is the correct pH level? There is no definitive correct pH as different fish species have their preferred pH range. Generally, the ideal pH value will lie between 7 and 8, but there are some exceptions. When purchasing fish from your local aquatic retailer, always enquire as to the specific water requirements of the fish you are buying. What do I do if the level is wrong? If you do need to adjust the pH of your water, it is vital to do this slowly to not shock the fish. Change no more than 0.5 pH units per 2 days. Providing your tap water is of suitable pH, substantial water changes can correct a dangerous pH level. It is also important to check the KH of the pond or aquarium. The use of pH adjusters, such as NT Labs KH Buffer Up for ponds or NT Labs Aquarium KH Up - PH Stabiliser for aquariums will raise the pH caused by soft or aged water. For fish that prefer to live in soft, acidic water use bogwood to gently lower the pH and soften the water.
