Description BL Testlab: Professional test lab for precise analysis of all important values in your aquarium. Test case with the most important water tests for freshwater aquariums, incl. ammonium test Healthy aquariums with conditions close to nature The right water values are dependent on the fish stock and the plants in the aquarium. Even if the water looks clear it can be contaminated. Bad values can cause diseases or algae in the aquarium. To maintain a healthy aquarium with conditions close to nature it is important to check and adapt the water values regularly. With JBL water tests you can determine all relevant water values quickly, easily and very precisely. The following tests are available: pH test: acidity of the water from 3.0 to 10 pH test: acidity of the water from 6.0 to 7.6 pH test: acidity of the water from 7.4 to 9.0 O2 test: determination of the oxygen content CO2 test: determination of the carbon dioxide content for thriving plant growth GH test: determination of general hardness KH test: pH stability of the water (carbonate hardness) PO4 test: determination of the phosphate content (reason for algae growth and plant nutrient) Test NH4 / NH3: indication of non-toxic ammonium, determination of the toxic ammonia using table NO2 test: determination of nitrogen compound nitrite, which is toxic for the fish NO3-Test: determination of the nitrate content (reason for algae growth and plant nutrient) Fe test: determination of the iron content to monitor the fertilisation Cu Test: heavy metal deadly for invertebrates. Also important for adjusting the therapeutic dose of medications SiO2 test: determination of the silicates (silicic acid) as cause for diatoms To determine the CO2 content you just need to measure the pH and KH values. From both values arises the CO2 content in the water, which then can be referenced from the enclosed table. With our research department and our worldwide expeditions into the habitats of the animals we permanently set new standards with our product innovations.
