The chemical reagent adjustment method comprises the following steps of: pouring a low-concentration sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution into a fish tank for a plurality of times. Check the PH value of the water every time it is released. Stop putting in when PH reaches about 8.0. If the PH is too high, you can put some sodium dihydrogen carbonate to lower the PH of the water. Traditional adjustment method: If you want to raise the PH value, you can put some coral sand in the fish tank. If the PH is too high, dry leaves or pineapple peels can be added.
How to adjust the pH value of koi and how to maintain the water quality

1. How to adjust

the PH value of koi? There are two main methods to adjust the PH value of koi: chemical reagent adjustment method and traditional adjustment method.

1. Chemical reagent adjustment method: raising koi can adjust the PH value of water to about 8.0. When sodium bicarbonate is dissolved in water, it can increase the PH value of the water and make the water weakly alkaline. The application method is that the low-concentration sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution is poured into the fish tank for a plurality of times. Be sure to put in a small amount when pouring the water solution, and constantly check the PH value of the water. Stop dosing after the requirements are met. If you overdo it, you can put some sodium dihydrogen carbonate instead to lower the PH of the water.

2. Traditional adjustment method: If you want to raise the PH value, you can put some coral sand in the fish tank. The main components of coral sand are sodium carbonate and sodium hydride, which are not easily soluble in water, but a small amount of them are soluble in water, which can produce OH negative ions and make the water weakly alkaline. If the PH is too high, dry leaves or pineapple peels can be added to lower the PH of the water.

2. How to maintain the water quality

of Koi? The indicators of the water body are not single, but closely linked. To ensure good water quality, the first step is to feed the koi. Feeding tastes 70% full, so that the food will not be excessive and pollute the water body. Secondly, we should be diligent in changing water, choosing good water for changing water, and changing one third of the water in the fish tank every time.
