The pH value or “degree of acidity” indicates how acidic or basic(alkaline) water is. Pure water is neutral and has a pH value of 7. If the acidic components outweigh the alkaline components, the pH value falls (pH < 7), if the alkaline components outweigh the acidic components, the pH value rises (pH >7). Many organisms are extremely sensitive to significant fluctuations in the pH value. In saltwater aquariums, the optimum pH value range is between 8.0 and 8.5, as it is in the ocean. Significant fluctuations and overly sharp decreases or increases in the pH value should be avoided at all costs. Therefore, the degree of acidity in the tank should be tested on a regular basis.
- Test set for precise checking of the most important water values in the saltwater aquarium in a handy and stable case
- The individual tests and their accessories are well sorted and labelled in the case so that there can be no confusion
- Refill packs can be purchased for used tests, so that nothing stands in the way of a long use
