AF Minus PH 200ml

Description

Product Info

Professional media for lowering pH level of aquarium water. The PH of aquarium water determines biological balance of the aquarium, so it should be as close to natural as it is possible. Species of fish from Amazon river, where the pH of the water is 5.5-6.5, habitat prefer slightly acidic pH. Clearly, for some fish species, tap water requires a lowering of pH. AF Minus pH grants it in a quick and easy way. The optimal pH provides solid ground for reproduction and affects positively overall condition of fish. Perfect conditions obtained thanks to AF pH Minus allow to avoid dangerous alkaline disease. No phosphate content.

How To Use

Due to the possibility of overdose, this product is not recommended to be dosed directly into the aquarium. AF Minus pH should be prepared outside of the tank, in water destined to be changed. Before application, check pH level and only dispense product to the solution to reach the desired value. 1 ml AF Minus pH per 1 liter of water lowers the pH value by 0.2. Due to the high harmfulness of sudden changes of pH level, do not lower the pH of the water in the aquarium by more than 0.5 per day.

Lowering pH With AF Minus pH For South American Setups

AF Minus pH is a media for gently bringing aquarium pH down, useful for hobbyists keeping species that evolved in soft, acidic water, think Amazonian tetras, discus and many dwarf cichlids. While Singapore tap arrives soft and slightly acidic, it doesn’t always sit where blackwater species are happiest, and tanks with crushed coral or certain rockwork can creep higher than you’d like. This product gives you a controlled way to nudge it back down.

The key with any pH adjustment is to move slowly. Fish tolerate a stable, slightly-off pH far better than a fast-moving one, so make small changes, test, and let things settle before adjusting again. We also remind customers that KH buffers pH, so understanding your carbonate hardness first explains why a tank resists or swings. Always dechlorinate replacement water, since our supply is chloraminated, before introducing any conditioner.
