Salifert pH Aquarium Test Kit
The pH value can have a major impact on the growth of corals and calcareous algae and on many biological processes.
The pH should not be allowed to fluctuate more than approx. 0.3 units during 24 hours and should preferably be kept between 8.0 and 8.2.
If the pH is too low then the cause may be a too low alkalinity and/or insufficient aeration.
A low pH can be corrected by improving aeration and by increasing the alkalinity to NSW (Natural seawater) value or upto approx 25% above NSW levels.
The Salifert pH test kit is sufficiently accurate to monitor pH fluctuations of approx 0.2 pH units. Our KH + pH Buffer allows fast and efficient correction of alkalinity.
Approx. 50 tests per kit.
Range pH 7.4 - 8.6.

Ph test
One of the best test kits I have used the PH reading is spot on.

I like Salifert test kits
Mine read 8.2, so I’m right in the middle. I used a 18 year old test kit a month before got 8.1 reading. That’s why I bought this. I haven’t checked it in 14 years because it always tested fine. So $11 for piece of mind. I always have high phosphates (1ppm) and cyanobacteria. This year I reduced down to .18 so far. So now I’m checking reef water Parameters. Tank looks better now.

works
the tester works but the reading depends on your source light. in one room the reading is ph 7.7, in another room it is 8.0. to be honest, it would be better if you go over to the probe section on the left and order one of the ph probes. aquacave has one for $25. it is so much easier to get a reading and there is no color comparison. but this did work because i tried different ph water and this tester did change colors so it works
