Aqua-Pics pH Up 1kg — Phosphate-free pH increaser for a fish room on soft water

A fish room with several tanks on tank or rain water spends a lot of its maintenance time just getting pH back up to where hard-water fish need it, and that routine uses a lot of product. Aqua-Pics pH Up 1kg (SKU: 724797) is the 1 kg pack of Aqua-Pics’ phosphate-free pH increaser, raising pH by counteracting the acid compounds responsible for a persistently low reading. At a full kilogram it is built for repeat use across several tanks rather than a single aquarium.

The dosing instruction is unchanged from the smaller packs: no fixed gram-per-litre rate, small amounts added as required, and no overdosing, because a quick pH rise stresses fish more than a stable low one. Aqua-Pics recommends its KH Buffer once each tank reaches its target, since an increaser used alone does not leave the water with lasting buffering capacity and the pH can slip again between water changes. The 1 kg pack suits a breeding or holding setup for livebearers, African cichlids and goldfish, where several tanks are drawing from the same soft or acidic water supply and need the same correction on a recurring basis. Because pH and general hardness commonly move together in naturally soft water, Aqua-Pics’ GH Salt range used alongside the increaser addresses both at once rather than treating pH as an isolated figure. Retesting each tank before its next dose keeps the correction from overshooting once several aquariums are on the same schedule.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Fish rooms and breeders: Several tanks needing the same correction repeatedly.
• Holding and grow-out tanks: Larger systems on soft or acidic water.
• Hard-water species: Livebearers, African cichlids and goldfish.
• Recurring maintenance: Pattern of pH dropping after most water changes.

Dosing & Administration Guide

• Treat each tank separately: Dose and test one aquarium at a time.
• Small, repeated additions: Avoid dosing the whole kilogram at once.
• Retest before redosing: Confirm the pH has settled first.
• Follow with KH Buffer: Use once a tank is at its target pH.
