NT Labs Aquarium KH Up - PH Stabiliser 180g

NT Labs Aquarium KH Up - PH Stabiliser 180g

NT Labs Aquarium KH Up - PH Stabiliser is an aquarium water treatment that safely raises carbonate hardness (KH) to help prevent pH swings. It suits freshwater hobbyists whose KH has drifted down over time, and the 180g pack treats 1500 litres (396 US gal) of aquarium water.

Why KH Matters

Over time, the carbonate hardness (KH) in an aquarium drops. As it falls, the pH drops with it and can start to fluctuate suddenly. Raising the KH helps reduce these pH swings, which keeps conditions steadier for your fish.

Key Benefits

• Safely and cleanly increases the KH of aquarium water
• Helps prevent pH fluctuations caused by low KH
• Helps keep pH steadier as KH naturally declines over time
• Useful for fish species that need higher KH and pH levels

Dosage

• 180g treats 1500 litres (396 US gal) of aquarium water

Frequently Asked Questions

What does KH Up - PH Stabiliser do?
It safely increases the carbonate hardness (KH) of your aquarium water. Higher KH helps reduce the pH fluctuations that low KH causes.

How much water does the 180g pack treat?
180g treats 1500 litres (396 US gal) of aquarium water.

Why does the KH in my aquarium drop over time?
Carbonate hardness naturally declines in an aquarium over time. When it does, the pH falls and can fluctuate suddenly, which is why a KH booster is useful.

Do I still need to test my water?
Yes. Certain fish species need higher KH and pH levels, so regularly monitor your water parameters to make sure they suit the fish you keep.

Will it help if my pH keeps swinging?
If the swings are caused by low KH, raising the KH helps reduce them. Testing your KH first will show whether low carbonate hardness is the cause.
