API pH UP

API pH UP raises aquarium pH in freshwater aquariums to desired level. pH is the measure of acidity of water, on a scale ranging from 0 to 14. A pH of 0 is the most acidic, while a pH of 14 is the most alkaline. Different geographies have different tap water conditions with different pH levels, while fish require a specific pH level to thrive. A pH of 7.0 is ideal when keeping a community aquarium containing a variety of tropical fish. Goldfish and livebearers prefer a pH of 7.5. Many Amazonian fish, like angelfish and neon tetras, prefer a pH of 6.5 to 6.8. Mollies and swordtails thrive at pH 7.2 to 7.5. Safe for fish and plants.

Features:

• Raises freshwater aquarium water pH with a phosphate-free formula
• Does not promote algae growth with pH adjustments and is safe for plants and fish
• Slowly neutralizes acidic substances that cause low water pH

Use:

• Determine the pH of aquarium water with an API pH Test Kit
• To raise pH, add 2.5ml (1/2 teaspoon) for each 95L (25 U.S. gallons) of aquarium water. For larger aquariums, add 5ml (1 teaspoon) for each 190L (50 U.S. gallons) of aquarium water
• Take another pH reading before adding another dose of pH UP
• Some fish may be sensitive to pH adjustments greater than 0.2 in a 24 hour period, so changes of this magnitude should be done with extreme care
