Description
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.
