  • Accurately reads pH 6.0 - 7.6 and helps avoid fish loss

Description

Keep your fish healthy and thriving by testing your aquarium water's pH regularly with easy-to-use API pH TEST KIT for freshwater aquariums. Testing water parameters weekly helps prevent invisible water problems that can be harmful to fish. 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. Different geographies have different tap water conditions with different pH levels, while fish require a specific pH level to thrive. A pH of 7.0 is ideal when keeping a community aquarium containing a variety of tropical fish. Goldfish and livebearers prefer a pH of 7.5. Many Amazonian fish, like angelfish and neon tetras, prefer a pH of 6.5 to 6.8. Mollies and swordtails thrive at pH 7.2 to 7.5. API pH TEST KIT for freshwater aquariums test a wide range of pH levels from 6.0 to 9.0. Just dip a strip directly into your aquarium, and use the color-coded chart to determine if your water is safe or if adjustments are needed. Then follow the recommendations to treat the water – it's that simple! With API aquarium products, it’s easy to keep a beautiful saltwater, freshwater or reef aquarium. For almost 60 years API has developed premium solutions with proven and effective results for your family and ours. API offers a range of testing kits, water conditioners, and nutritionally superior food, because we’re dedicated to making a better underwater world. They work to provide a safe, hospitable environment for fish such as tropical community fish, cichlids, goldfish and more. At API, we understand the rewards and relaxation of fishkeeping because we have a passion for fish too.

  • The Fish Thanks You!
Size: Standard
API Test Kit is very easy to use. There's not mixing or any scientific magic just straightforward directions, eg., taking the test tube flush with the aquarium water, then fill to the white line on the tube, Then, I like to shake the Test pH solution, after add 3 drops of this pH Test into the testing tube. Close open end and shake well. Hold test tube to the pH Scale Test Card, the color will say the pH Level. It's That Easy! ... show more

  • Good PH testing kit, easy to use
Size: Standard
Good PH testing kit, easy to use. However, the color key a bit harder to read. Couldn't tell the color exactly for some PH water test. But great price though, cheaper than the strip testing kits.

  • Test kit helps me keep all my fish water safe.
Size: Standard
I can test my own water, don’t have to run to the fish store often. A bottle lasts for a good long time.

  • Too narrow a range
Size: Standard
By bad for not reading more closely, but the range is too narrow for many purposes. It goes only to 7.6. My city tap water is off the scale. I keep fish that like a pH between 7 and 8, and I don’t know if I’m so the in that range or not.
