Healthy aquarium/healthy pond with conditions close to nature

The right water values are dependent on the fish stock and the plants in the aquarium/pond. Even if the water looks clear it can be contaminated. With bad values diseases or algae can appear in the aquarium/pond. To maintain a healthy aquarium/pond with conditions close to nature it is important to check and adapt the water values regularly.

For each water analysis JBL provides water tests in the form of quick tests or colour change tests. These determine a certain value or several values in one go. With these water tests you can recognise algae problems and negative nitrate, nitrite, potassium, magnesium values etc.

Why test?
The well-being of aquarium and pond dwellers and the healthy growth of aquatic plants depend to a large extent on the pH level being kept as constant as possible. The pH level can also affect many substances dissolved in the water. Fluctuations in the pH level are definitely to be avoided.

JBL ProAqua pH 3.0-10.0 Wide-Range Test Kit in Singapore

This wide-range pH kit covers 3.0 to 10.0, which makes it the sensible first pH test for a Singapore household running mixed tanks, from soft acidic blackwater bettas through to alkaline Rift Lake cichlid setups. The broad span lets you place any tank on the scale quickly with a single reagent, fill the cuvette, add drops, compare against the chart, so you always know roughly where you stand before reaching for a narrow-range kit to fine-tune.

It works in both fresh and marine water and is a good baseline test when commissioning a new tank, where pH can drift as the system settles. We also recommend it for checking your tap water, since knowing the starting pH helps you predict how driftwood, substrate or buffering products will move it. Test daily through the first week of a new setup, then weekly once things stabilise.
