Tropic Marin KH/Alkalinity -Test

For determining the alkalinity

Alkalinity is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen carbonate and carbonate ions in water; with increasing pH-value also of the hydroxide ions. The concentration of these ions determines the buffering capacity of water, i.e. the capability of the water to maintain proper pH. If the percentage of hydrogen carbonate and carbonate ions is too low, the pH value of the water may drop severely (acidity drop) causing a life threatening condition for many invertebrates and fish.

The Tropic Marin^® KH/ALKALINITY test kit makes it possible to quickly determine the buffering capacity of your aquarium water by ease of use and high accuracy.
