Aquaculture & Aquarium Test Kit

This kit allows you to test for the most important parameters for aquaculture applications: alkalinity, carbon dioxide, dissolved oxygen, hardness, pH, and salinity.  Each of these parameters plays a key role in the correct balance of an aquatic environment, as follows:

  • Alkalinity acts as a stabilizer for pH
  • Carbon dioxide must be monitored because it can be a toxic element for fish
  • Oxygen levels affect fish respiration and growth rate
  • Hardness is monitored because it diminishes the toxicity level of ammonia
  • pH is measured to determine the toxicity level of the water
  • Salinity is important because of its relationship to dissolved oxygen
