KH TEST – Reagent for Measuring Carbonate Hardness in Aquariums
The KH TEST is a high-accuracy reagent for measuring carbonate hardness (KH) in freshwater and marine aquariums. KH (Karbonathärte) indicates the temporary hardness of water, defined by the concentration of bicarbonates and carbonates. These compounds are crucial for maintaining pH stability, acting as a buffer against sudden pH shifts that can endanger aquatic life. An optimal KH level protects the chemical balance of the aquarium, ensuring healthy conditions for fish, invertebrates, and plants.
