API pH High Range Test Kit Fresh/Saltwater

The API pH High Range Test Kit (SKU: APH26) is specifically formulated to measure pH levels between 7.4 and 8.8. High pH levels are essential for marine fish, reef systems, African Cichlids, and brackish aquariums. Regular testing helps aquarists maintain the elevated alkaline conditions required by these specialised aquatic species, preventing hazardous parameter dips that cause stress and disease.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Specialised Tank Maintenance: Test weekly in African Cichlid, marine, reef, and brackish aquariums.

• Dosing Monitoring: Test before and after adding buffering agents or marine salts to verify target pH levels.

• Troubleshooting: Test immediately if fish display signs of distress, lethargy, or rapid gill movement in high-pH environments.

How to Use

1. Fill a clean glass test tube with 5 mL of aquarium water up to the marked line.

2. Add 5 drops of High Range pH Test Solution, holding the dropper bottle completely vertical.

3. Cap the test tube and invert several times to mix thoroughly.

4. Compare the resulting liquid colour against the high-range colour chart under good lighting.
