Correct
water conditions are essential for the health and
development of both fish and plants. A stable pH, maintained
at the natural level for specific aquarium inhabitants, is
essential for their well being and therefore should be
checked regularly.
Ammonia, which is toxic for
fish, is regularly introduced into the aquarium by fish
waste. A functioning Biological Filter will convert the
Ammonia to Nitrite and thereafter to Nitrate, which are less
harmful. Regular testing for Ammonia & Nitrite will provide
a positive indication that your Biological Filter is
functioning correctly. The solubility of CO2 in water is
affected by the Carbonate Hardness (KH) of the water.
All plants
and many fish species are dependant on a specific General
Hardness (GH) for their well being. Therefore both GH and KH
should be monitored regularly. Chlorine is harmful to fish,
plants and nitrifying bacteria. Use the chlorine kit to
ensure that only chlorine free water is added to your
aquarium.

Essential Tests for Planted Aquariums
Carbon dioxide is the most important plant nutrient and is sufficiently
and constantly supplied in natural waters by nutrition springs.
These natural sources of CO2 are missing in the aquarium
and it is, therefore, prudent to check the CO2 contents
regularly. A consistent CO2 level of 30-40 mg per litre
is necessary for a healthy growth of all aquarium plants and at
the same time absolutely safe - even beneficial - for the fish.

Correct water conditions are essential for the
health and development of both fish and plants.
Performing the tests included in the Deluxe
Fresh-Lab will assist in establishing and
maintaining a successful aquarium.
A stable pH, maintained at the natural level for
specific aquarium inhabitants is essential for their
well-being and therefore should be checked
regularly.
Ammonia, which is toxic for fish, is regularly
introduced into the aquarium by fish waste. A
functioning Biological Filter, which house living
colonies of nitrifying bacteria, will convert the
ammonia to nitrite and thereafter to nitrate, which
are less harmful.
Regular testing for ammonia will provide a positive
indication that your Biological Filter is
functioning correctly and that it is in balance with
the stocking level.
Iron is an essential element regularly taken up by
plants. In order to dose iron
supplements such as FloraFe, it is
important to monitor the level of iron present in
the water.
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is taken up
regularly by aquarium plants. Over stocking of
plants in the aquarium can deplete the carbon
dioxide adversely effecting their growth. The
solubility of CO2 in water is affected by
the Carbonate hardness (KH) of the water. All plants
and many fish species are dependant on a specific
General Hardness (GH) for their well being.
Therefore both GH and KH should be monitored
regularly.
Chlorine is often used to ensure that tap water is
safe for human consumption, it is however harmful to
fish, plants and nitrifying bacteria. Use the
chlorine kit to ensure that only chlorine free water
is added to your aquarium. |

Red
Sea Phosphate Test Lab
|
Introduction to
Phosphate
All living matter, both
animal and plant, contains about 1% Phosphorus in
the form of Phosphate (PO43-).
Every time the fish are fed, some Phosphate is
introduced into the aquarium. Waste products of the
fish and bacterial breakdown of food remains also
introduce Phosphate into the water.
In nature a true
Phosphorus cycle exists. Phosphate is an important
plant fertilizer that stimulates plant growth at
very low concentrations. The Phosphate level in
unpolluted natural waters is always very low, and
Plants use so much that there is always a demand for
it.
In the aquarium, the
fish density is much higher than in nature. In most
aquariums the plant growth is insufficient to use up
all the Phosphate that is added with feeding,
therefore it accumulates in the water. This leads to
several undesirable effects, in particular blue,
green and hair algae find favorable conditions and
grow very fast. Marine invertebrates like corals may
loose their zooxanthellae, (tiny brown algae that
live in the tissue of invertebrates leading to
degeneration and eventually to the death of these
sensitive animals.
Especially in a reef
aquarium, the Phosphate level should be checked
every week. The concentration should be as low as
possible with 0.3 ppm as an absolute maximum for the
reef aquarium. Higher concentrations than this value
are not in any way toxic for marine or freshwater
fish - the danger lies only in the fact that the
water gets over fertilized, which results in algae
growth and harm to invertebrates. |

Salt
Level Test Kit
Measures Salt Level in Freshwater aquaria. For good health,
freshwater fish require salt in LOW LEVELS. Salt provides
electrolytes. Too much salt can damage freshwater plants, and a lack
of salt results in electrolyte loss, poor gill function, and low
oxygen/high carbon dioxide levels in fish. Salt levels are NOT
affected by water evaporation, only by water changes. Protect
your plants and fish by having the correct level of salt in your
aquarium or pond.

Test Kit Carbonate and Total Hardness
-
Carbonate and Total Hardness
- For Fresh and Salt Water
-Any
water, except distilled water, contains a number of dissolved mineral
salts. The general or total hardness is mainly determined
by the proportion of dissolved calcium and magnesium. The more of
these salts are present, the harder is the water. Most fish
prefer values between 3 and 10º degrees GH. If the water is
too hard, the addition of de-ionized water will lower the GH-value.
The carbonate hardness (KH) is mainly determined by the proportion
of dissolved bicarbonates. Bicarbonates are important for
the aquarium water as they act as a pH-buffer and prevent a decline
of the pH-value (acidity drop). Most freshwater fish prefer
values between 5 and 10º degrees KH, marine fish require 8 and 12º
KH.
Hagen's
test kit includes tests for both KH & GH, so you don't have
to shell out the dough for 2 separate kits!
