API  PH UP and PH Down

Back   PH Up   Purpose and Benefits: pH Up is a liquid pH raising product for freshwater aquariums. By neutralizing acidic substances in the aquarium, pH Up effectively makes the water more alkaline. The pH may rebound down to the original pH depending on the level acid in the aquarium. Several consecutive treatments with pH Up may be necessary to adjust pH to the desired level, but if there are fish present in the aquarium, the pH should not be changed more than twice in a 24 hour period. While many common aquarium fish will live in water with a pH of 6.8 to 7.5, a pH of 7.0 is ideal for a community aquarium containing a variety of freshwater fish. Live bearers like mollies and swordtails prefer a higher pH of 7.2-7.6. Acid-loving fish such as angelfish and neon tetras prefer a lower pH of 6.5-6.8. Making a partial water change (10-15%) will also remove some of the acids and help stabilize the pH. Adjusting the pH to the proper level will improve fish health, disease resistance, coloration and breeding. Directions for Use: 1.Use an Aquarium  Freshwater pH Test Kit to determine the pH of the aquarium. 2.To raise pH, add four drops of pH Up for every U.S. gallon (3.78 L) of aquarium water. 3.Take another pH reading before making the next addition of pH Up. 4.If fish are present in the aquarium, do not change the pH more than 0.2 in a 24 hour period (for example, from 7.0 to 7.2). Compatibility: pH Up contains no phosphates and may be used with live plants.        PH up  120ml = £5.99

PH Down  Api ph down • pH Down-Lowers pH & makes aquariums more acidic. • pH Up-Raises pH & makes aquarium water more alkaline. • Both products are fast-acting, colourless, easy-to-use & will not cloud or colour aquarium water. Long shelf life.      PH down  120ml = £5.99        Technical Reference Sheet for pH Down® Purpose and Benefits: pH Down is a liquid pH lowering product for freshwater aquariums. pH Down lowers pH by neutralizing carbonate hardness in the water. Adjusting the pH to the proper level will improve fish health, disease resistance, coloration and breeding. While many common aquarium fish will live in water with a pH range of 6.8 to 7.5, a pH of 7.0 is ideal for a community aquarium containing a variety of freshwater fish. Live bearers like mollies and swordtails prefer a higher pH of 7.2-7.6. Acid-loving fish such as angelfish and neon tetras prefer a lower pH of 6.5-6.8. Each dose of pH Down neutralizes some of the carbonate hardness and lowers the pH. The pH may rebound up to the original pH if the carbonate hardness is high. Several consecutive treatments with pH Down may be necessary to lower pH, but if there are fish present in the aquarium, the pH should not be changed more than .2 in a 24 hour period. The number of doses required to lower the pH will depend on the carbonate hardness level and the desired pH level. An aquarium with low carbonate hardness may require one treatment with pH Down while an aquarium with a high carbonate level will require several. Directions for Use: 1. Use Aquarium Pharmaceuticals Freshwater pH test Kit to determine the pH of the aquarium. 2. To lower pH, add two drops of pH Down for every U.S. gallon (3.78 L) of aquarium water. 3. Take another pH reading before making the next addition of pH Down. 4. If fish are present in the aquarium, do not change the pH more than 0.2 in a 24 hour period (for example, from 7.2 to 7.0). Compatibility: pH Down contains no phosphates and may be used with live plants.

API PH Proper 6.5 Adjusts the pH of tap water to the specified value, which can be essential when keeping or breeding many species of fish. This product should always be used in conjunction with a pH test kit to ensure that there are no sudden changes in pH which can be harmful to the fish PH proper 6.5  240ml = £7.99
