API Carbonate Test Kit - Fresh & Saltwater
The Aquarium Pharmaceuticals Fresh/Salt Water Carbonate Test Kit is an essential tool for aquarium enthusiasts who understand the importance of maintaining the right carbonate hardness (KH) levels in their aquariums. This test kit is designed to measure the concentrations of carbonate and bicarbonate in the water, which are key factors in stabilizing pH levels and ensuring a healthy environment for fish and plants.
Regular monitoring of KH is crucial because water with low carbonate hardness can experience rapid and harmful shifts in pH. These shifts can stress fish, making them more susceptible to disease, and can also adversely affect the growth and health of aquarium plants.
