JBL Proaqua pH 6.0 – 7.6 test kit (Measure High pH)

Description

Simple and reliable monitoring of the aquarium water values. Determines the ideal pH value in freshwater aquariums
Laboratory comparator system to compensate the inherent water colour: fill plastic cuvette with sample water, add reagent to one cuvette, place both cuvettes in holder, read values off colour chart
When to use: daily for one week in newly set up aquariums, afterwards weekly
Online Laboratory: regular monitoring for a healthy aquarium with natural conditions. JBL has water tests in the form of quick tests or colour change tests for every water analysis. Testing aquarium water for healthy, clear water
Package contents: 1 quick test, pH test 6.0-7.6 for approx. 80 measurements. Incl. reagent, 2 glass vials with screw caps, syringe, comparator block and colour scale. Reagent refill separately available

Healthy aquariums with conditions close to nature
The right water values are dependent on the fish stock and the plants in the aquarium. Even if the water looks clear it can be contaminated. With bad values diseases or algae can appear in the aquarium. To maintain a healthy aquarium 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 rapid 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 auqarium dwellers and the healthy growth of aquatic plants depend to a large extent on the pH level being kept as constant as possible. Many substances dissolved in water are also liable to changes caused by the pH level. Fluctuations in the pH level in particular ought to be avoided.

JBL ProAqua pH 6.0-7.6 Narrow-Range Test Kit in Singapore

Once you know roughly where a tank sits, this narrow 6.0-7.6 range kit gives the precision that matters for the soft, slightly acidic to neutral water most Singapore community fish, tetras, rasboras, corydoras and bettas, actually prefer. The tighter scale makes small but important differences readable, where a wide-range kit would just show one block of colour. The comparator method, reacting one cuvette against a plain reference, cancels any tannin tint so blackwater scapes still read true.

It is the kit we suggest for fine-tuning a planted or community freshwater tank, dialling in CO2 (since pH tracks CO2), or confirming that a buffer or driftwood has settled the tank where you want it. Test daily for the first week of a new setup, then weekly, and any time you change something that could move pH, like adding catappa leaves or peat.
