Seachem MultiTest Marine PH & Alkalinity, 75 tests

For a healthy marine environment, the ideal pH level ranges from 8.2 to 8.4, though tanks treated with limewater can reach up to 8.6. Natural seawater has a total alkalinity of 2 - 3 meq/L, but aquarium water should maintain 4 - 6 meq/L. This test kit is a game - changer. It uses a special dye that shows a clear color change between 8.0 and 8.3, making it the simplest kit on the market to read in this crucial pH range. It's designed for marine or brackish water only. You can measure alkalinity from the same sample in 0.5 meq/L steps. The MultiTest™ Marine pH & Alkalinity can perform over 75 tests and comes with a reference sample for validation. Key features include a unique dye for easy pH reading, a multi - cavity plate allowing you to conduct up to 6 tests simultaneously, a reference for test accuracy, and it's suitable for marine or high - pH freshwater.

Using this Seachem MultiTest Kit is easy. First, collect a water sample from your marine or brackish water tank. Use the multi - cavity plate to run up to 6 tests at once if you need to. Add the special dye to the sample and watch for the color change. Compare it with the reference sample for accurate results. For alkalinity, read the values from the same sample in 0.5 meq/L increments. Make sure to always keep the kit in a cool, dry place to maintain its effectiveness. Also, check the expiration date before using. If you notice any issues with the color change or the results seem off, refer to the reference sample for validation. This way, you can keep your aquarium water at the right pH and alkalinity levels for a healthy marine environment.
