Test procedure

Please read this section completely before starting the test.
The test measures pH values ranging from 5 to 10.

  1. Rinse the test vial with the water to be tested.
  2. Fill the vial to the 5 ml mark with the water to be tested.
  3. Hold the bottle with the test reagent upside down over the vial and add 7 drops.
  4. Close the vial and shake gently.
  5. Hold the vial around 1 cm (finger‘s width) in front of the white surface of the colour chart. Match the shade of the test solution to the colour it comes closest to on the  colour chart and read the corresponding value. After each test, rinse the vial thoroughly with tap water.

Values and assessment

The optimum pH value depends on the species of fish.
Aquarium: General freshwater fish: 6.5 – 8.5
Black water fish: 6.0 – 7.5
East African cichlids: 7.5 – 8.5
Pond: 6.5 – 8.5

What should I do if……the pH value is too high? – Use Tetra pH/KH Minus to reduce the pH value in your aquarium and Tetra CO2 Optimate to regulate it. In ponds, you  can reduce the pH value by carrying out a partial water change. Before adding new tap water, treat it with Tetra Pond Aquascape to make it safe for fish.
Important: avoid drastic changes to the pH level.
…the pH value is too low? – Use Tetra pH/KH Plus to increase the pH value in your aquarium and Tetra EasyBalance to maintain it. In ponds, you can increase the pH  value by carrying out a partial water change or using Tetra Pond WaterStabiliser. To maintain optimum water quality we recommend that you check water values weekly.
All Tetra Test products are easy to use and very accurate. They use professional methods to determine chemical water values. Available for all key water values.
