API - Kh Carbonate Hardness Test Kit

Product Description: API KH Carbonate Hardness Test Kit

Origin Country:
Made in the USA

Weight:
Approx. 0.5 lbs (227 grams)

Ingredients:
The kit includes:

• 150 tests (vials for accurate measurements)
• Proprietary reagents for testing carbonate hardness (KH)

Analysis:
This test kit allows aquarists to determine the carbonate hardness of their aquarium water, which is crucial for maintaining pH stability and overall water chemistry. KH levels influence how well the aquarium can buffer against pH changes, supporting the overall health of fish and plants in the aquarium. Low KH can lead to pH swings, which can be harmful to aquatic life. The kit provides precise readings in degrees of carbonate hardness (dKH), ensuring that you can effectively monitor and adjust water conditions as needed.

Feeding Instructions:
 Follow these instructions for effective testing:

1. Fill a clean test vial with a water sample from your aquarium.
2. Add the recommended number of drops of the reagent provided in the kit to the water sample as per the instructions.
3. Cap the vial and gently invert to mix the solution thoroughly.
4. Wait the specified time (as mentioned in the instructions) for the color to develop.
5. Compare the color of the solution with the color chart included in the kit to determine your carbonate hardness levels.
