The API Aquarium Pharmaceuticals MARS Fishcare GH and KH Test Kit is a vital tool for maintaining optimal water quality and preventing fish stress in both freshwater and saltwater aquariums. This liquid test kit accurately measures General Hardness (GH) and Carbonate Hardness (KH), which are crucial for stable pH levels. By monitoring KH, aquarists can detect low levels that cause rapid pH shifts, a major stressor for fish. Ideal for planted aquariums and suitable for all fish species, this allergen-free kit provides clear instructions and glass tubes for easy, reliable testing, ensuring a healthy and thriving aquatic environment.
Features
:- Dual Hardness Measurement: Accurately tests both General Hardness (GH) and Carbonate Hardness (KH) levels, providing comprehensive insights into water chemistry.
- pH Stability & Fish Stress Prevention: Crucially helps detect low KH levels, preventing dangerous rapid pH shifts that are a major cause of stress in fish.
- Versatile & User-Friendly: Suitable for both freshwater and saltwater aquariums, including planted tanks, and comes with clear instructions and accessories for easy testing.
Applications
:- Maintaining Stable pH: Used to monitor KH, which is essential for buffering water and preventing sudden, harmful pH fluctuations.
- Preventing Fish Stress & Illness: Helps identify conditions (low KH) that lead to rapid pH shifts, thereby improving fish health and reducing susceptibility to disease.
- Optimizing Planted Aquarium Conditions: Ideal for planted tanks to ensure appropriate GH and KH levels for robust aquatic plant growth and nutrient absorption.
