Fluval GH/KH Test Kit, Fresh/Salt

Crafted in Canada, Fluval Test Kits provide precise measurements of water parameters, ensuring a thriving and stable habitat for your aquatic plants and fish. Testing your source water regularly is crucial, as it might harbor contaminants harmful to your aquarium ecosystem.

(KH) Carbonate Hardness levels need consistent monitoring since they can change over time, potentially disrupting the pH equilibrium in your tank.

• Frequent testing can detect rapid KH depletion, especially in marine reef setups.
• In densely populated marine reef tanks, testing every two days is highly recommended.
• Tanks with a high density of fish and plants experience faster KH reduction. Marine reefs with heavy stocking may need alkalinity reactors to sustain levels.
• Water hardness plays a key role in breeding fish that thrive in softer water.
• CO2 from fish and nitrifying bacteria forms carbonic acid, reducing KH, particularly in crowded tanks.
• Inadequate KH levels can hinder plant development.
• Suitable for both freshwater and saltwater environments.

(GH) General Hardness testing helps tailor water hardness to match the natural conditions of tropical fish species. In freshwater community tanks, avoid combining softwater and hardwater tropical fish. Knowing the GH requirements is also vital for successful breeding of tropical species.

• Perfect for checking water conditions before introducing new fish to a mature aquarium.
• Designed for use in freshwater setups.
