The pH of the fish tank is still very simple, you can use pH test paper or pH test pen.Insert the test paper directly into the water, observe its color change, take it out after a period of time, and then compare the color control sample, so that you can know the specific pH value.The test pen is even simpler, directly open and clear the reading, insert it into the fish tank, and see its display value.
1. Natural regulation: Natural regulation is to put some pure natural items into the water, which can release certain substances, thereby improving the pH of the water body, such as coral sand.Its main components are calcium and magnesium compounds, including calcium carbonate and calcium hydroxide, which dissolve in water in trace amounts, thus raising the pH and making the water slightly alkaline.The advantage of this method is that it doe not affect that health of the fish, but it often takes a long time to work, which may take several month.
2. Reagent adjustment: Reagent adjustment is to pour chemical reagents into the jar. The most commonly used is sodium bicarbonate, also known as baking soda.When this substance dissolves in water, it can increase the pH of the water body and show weak alkalinity.Although this way of adjustment is faster, but there will be some stimulation to the fish, so we must control the dosage, and it is best to have relevant knowledge, know how much is more appropriate.
