API GH and KH Test Kit
Tests tap water and freshwater for general hardness (GH), the measure of dissolved calcium and magnesium ion concentrations, and carbonate hardness (KH), the measure of dissolved carbonate and bicarbonate ion concentrations. Helps in detecting low KH levels, which can stress the fish by causing rapid pH shifts, and helps owners replicate the natural habitat of their fish. For freshwater use only. Simple 2 bottle test.
Helps monitor water quality and prevent invisible water problems that can be harmful to fish and plants. Carbonate hardness stabilizes aquarium pH, contributes to the normal function of bacteria and enzymes and maintains the health of your livestock. Knowing you KH levels can be used to determine the proper dose of pH buffers. GH or General hardness minerals such as calcium and magnesium are essential for aquatic biological functions. Such minerals are used in fish growth, metabolism and other physiological functions. General hardness minerals can decrease over time due to influx of rainwater, soft tap water and biological processes using these minerals.
We recommend that you take a few minutes each week to monitor your water conditions and create a better underwater world for your fish. The majority of fish illnesses are a direct result of water quality issues and testing your water regularly will help identify these issues before they become a real problem. Testing your aquarium water has never been so easy or accurate! Use these strips as part of your weekly maintenance routine or when there appears to be an issue in your aquarium.
