Healthy aquarium with natural conditions
The correct water values in the aquarium depend on the fish population and the plants present. Even if the water looks clear, it can be contaminated. If the values are poor, diseases or algae can develop in the aquarium. Regular checking and adjustment of the water values is important for a healthy aquarium with natural conditions. With JBL water tests you can determine all relevant water values quickly, easily and very precisely.
The following tests are included in the test case:
pH test: water acidity from 3.0 to 10
pH test: water acidity from 6.0 to 7.6
pH test: water acidity from 7.4 to 9.0
O2 test: determination of oxygen content
GH test: determination of total hardness
KH test: pH stability of the water (carbonate hardness)
PO4 test: determination of phosphate content (cause of algae and plant nutrient)
NH4 / NH3 test: display of non-toxic ammonium, determination of toxic ammonia using a table
NO2 test: determination of the nitrogen compound nitrite, which is toxic to fish
NO3 test: determination of nitrate content (cause of algae and plant nutrient)
Fe test: determination of iron content for fertilizer control
Cu test: deadly heavy metal for invertebrates. Also important for setting the therapeutic dose of medication
SiO2 test: Determination of silicates (silicic acid) as the cause of diatoms
To determine the CO2 content, it is sufficient to measure pH and KH. These two values give the CO2 content of the water, which can then be taken from the attached table.
The following water tests are available as a supplement:
K test: Determination of the plant nutrient potassium
Mg test freshwater: Determination of the plant nutrient magnesium
CO2-Direct test: Determination of the current carbon dioxide content for strong plant growth
