JBL PROAQUATEST pH Test 6.0-7.6

JBL pH Test 6.0-7.6 – Precise pH Monitoring for Freshwater Aquariums & Ponds

Keep your water chemistry on point with the JBL pH Test 6.0-7.6. This liquid, colorimetric kit is tuned for the most relevant range in planted and community freshwater tanks, as well as garden ponds, helping you track acidity/alkalinity for stable, healthy livestock and plants.

Why monitor pH?

• Fish & shrimp health: Sudden pH shifts stress livestock and impair immunity.
• Filter performance: Beneficial bacteria work best in a stable pH window.
• Plant growth & CO₂ use: Consistent pH supports nutrient uptake and predictable CO₂ management.

Key features

• Targeted low-range scale (6.0-7.6) ideal for community and planted setups.
• Clear color chart for quick, repeatable, easy-to-read results.
• Fast procedure: obtain your reading in just minutes.
• Freshwater & pond compatible for versatile day-to-day testing.

What’s included

• Liquid reagent(s) for pH determination
• Test vial / cuvette with cap
• Color comparison card (6.0-7.6)
• Measuring accessories (e.g., syringe or spoon)
• Instructions

How to use (quick guide)

1. Rinse the vial with sample water and fill to the mark.
2. Add the indicated drops of reagent as directed.
3. Cap, mix gently, and wait for the reaction time.
4. Compare the sample color to the chart under neutral light.
5. Log your result to track trends and adjust maintenance.

Pro tips

• Test consistently: Check pH at the same time of day; planted tanks often show daily swings.
• Mind CO₂: In CO₂ injected tanks, test before injection starts and at peak to understand your pH shift.
• Stability first: Aim for a steady pH suited to your livestock rather than chasing a “perfect” number.
• Buffering: Use appropriate substrates or buffers if your water is very soft and prone to swings.

FAQs

Is this suitable for reef tanks?
It’s optimised for freshwater (6.0-7.6). Marine aquariums typically require a higher pH range test.

How often should I test?
Weekly is a good baseline; test more frequently after water changes, dosing adjustments, or if livestock show stress.

What’s a good pH value?
Match the needs of your species. Many community and planted tanks thrive between ~6.5 and 7.2, but always prioritise stability.

JBL pH Test 6.0–7.6 delivers fast, reliable readings in the most relevant freshwater range, helping you maintain a stable, thriving aquarium or pond.
