Advitan - pH-Minus - 120 ml (4.06oz)

The most conducive pH level for keeping majority of freshwater fish and plants is in the neutral range about 7. pH levels around 8.2 ~ 8.5 should be maintained in marine aquariums. Fishes from slightly alkaline water, such as Lake Malawi and Lake Tanganyika are recommended between 8 and

8.5 pH. Garden ponds pH levels between 7 and 8.5 are considered beneficial.

How to administer Advitan pH Minus?

Determine the kH value before applying Advitan pH Minus. kH value should be at a minimum of 2 dkH.If necessary, amend the kH value using Advitan kH Booster to increase the kH level. Then apply Advitan pH Minus accordingly.

Notes:

Do not drastically lower the pH value at one time. Lower it gradually over time.

pH value is exponential. pH value from 6.0 to 7.0 is 10 fold. pH value from 6.0 to 8.0 is 100 fold.

Lowering pH levels from high kH values requires the additional application of Advitan pH Minus for several days to reach the desired level.

For required slightly soft acidic water condition for respective species, using Advitan T-C-E is beneficial.

High nitrate levels reduce pH values in fresh and saltwater aquariums, including garden ponds. High nitrate levels promote unwanted algae bloom and/or encourage cyanobacteria growth.
