Aquaforest Alkalinity KH Test Pro Kit

Aquaforest Alkalinity KH Test Pro Kit

Aquaforest Alkalinity KH Test Pro Kit is a titration-based alkalinity test kit for measuring KH in saltwater aquariums, with a particular focus on keeping coral reef tanks within their optimal range. It suits reef keepers and marine hobbyists who want a quick, accurate way to monitor carbonate hardness.

Key Benefits

• Quickly and accurately measures alkalinity concentration in saltwater aquariums
• Measures the concentration of carbonates and bicarbonates in reef tanks and other marine environments
• Every kit batch is certified and approved using ICP-OES testing reference solutions
• Titration method with an unlimited testing range
• Provides 78-100 tests per kit, depending on the reagent volume required per test
• Includes a reference solution and a quality certificate

Why Alkalinity Matters

As corals grow, they take in calcium and carbonate ions and, through a biological process, use them to form their hard skeletons. Regular alkalinity testing is important for any saltwater tank, and especially for coral reef tanks, where it should be monitored alongside calcium and magnesium levels.

Recommended Alkalinity Level

• 7 dKH to 8 dKH

Suitable For

• Saltwater aquariums
• Coral reef tanks
• Other marine environments

How to Use

This is a titration test, so each test is carried out with the syringes, test vial and reagents supplied. Follow the instruction card in the kit for the full test procedure. The reagent volume needed per test determines how many tests you get from one kit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What alkalinity level should I aim for in my reef tank?
The recommended alkalinity level is 7 dKH to 8 dKH.

How many tests can I do with one kit?
You get 78-100 tests per kit. The exact number depends on the reagent volume required for each test.

What type of test is this?
It is a titration test. The kit includes a 3 mL syringe, a 1 mL syringe, a syringe tip and a test vial for carrying it out.

Why should I test alkalinity regularly?
Corals take in calcium and carbonate ions as they grow, using them to form their hard skeletons. Regular alkalinity checks matter for any saltwater tank, especially a reef, and should be done alongside calcium and magnesium testing.

What does this kit measure?
It measures the concentration of carbonates and bicarbonates in reef tanks and other marine environments.

Is the kit quality-checked?
Yes. Every batch is certified and approved using ICP-OES testing reference solutions, and a quality certificate is included in the kit.
