Serenity pH Up 100g

Description

Serenity pH Up 100g — Australian-made powder for lifting acidic aquarium water back towards neutral

An older tank with driftwood, a heavy bioload and overdue water changes can slowly slide acidic until the fish start to sulk. Serenity pH Up 100g (SKU: SPHU100) is a powdered pH raiser from Serenity, the Australian range also sold as Serenity Aquatics, made to increase the pH of aquarium water. Retailers list it as a quality Australian-made product, and the 100 g tub is the everyday size for one aquarium, handy to keep on the shelf for the occasional correction when a test shows the reading has drifted lower than the fish need. The same 100 g size is one of the two powders Serenity pairs with Bromothymol Blue in its complete pH testing set.

Before reaching for the tub it is worth asking why the pH fell. A drop often follows a build-up of waste or the softening of the water’s carbonate hardness (KH), and a partial water change fixes the cause as well as the number. Where the tap water itself is soft and acidic, or the fish need it harder, such as livebearers and many African cichlids, a pH raiser holds the tank where it should be. As with any adjuster, the change should be gradual: measure the dose given on the Serenity label, dissolve it in a cup of aquarium water, add it near the filter outlet, then wait 24 hours and test again before adding more. Larger corrections should be spread over several days. Untreated top-up water will undo the work, so new water needs the same treatment.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Acidic drift: Tanks where pH has slid down between water changes.
• Soft tap water: Supplies that come out of the tap below neutral.
• Livebearers: Guppies, mollies and platies that prefer neutral to alkaline water.
• Occasional correction: A 100 g tub for one tank and infrequent use.

Dosing & Administration Guide

• Find the cause: Test and do a partial water change if waste has built up.
• Measure and dissolve: Mix the label dose in a cup of tank water first.
• Add near the outlet: Let the filter spread the mixture through the tank.
• Retest after 24 hours: Repeat only in small steps until the target is reached.
