SALIFERT TEST KH – Precision Test for Measuring Alkalinity in Marine Aquariums
Salifert Test KH is an essential tool for accurately monitoring alkalinity (KH) in marine aquariums, a critical parameter for the health of corals, coralline algae, and the entire aquatic ecosystem. Along with calcium, carbonates and bicarbonates are vital for forming coral skeletal material and stabilizing and buffering the pH, which should be maintained between 8.1 and 8.4.
The KH test measures even the smallest changes in total alkalinity, providing readings in precise 0.1 meq/L increments. For a stable system, alkalinity should not fluctuate more than 5% from the optimal level (approximately 2.8 meq/L), making regular monitoring crucial to prevent chemical imbalances and maintain a healthy environment.
Main features:
-
Precise measurement of alkalinity (carbonates and bicarbonates)
-
High sensitivity to detect small variations (0.1 meq/L increments)
-
Essential for the health and growth of corals and coralline algae
-
Helps stabilize and buffer pH (8.1-8.4) in marine aquariums
-
Ideal for demanding aquarists, beginners, and experts
-
Easy to use, with clear and reliable results
