API® pH UP pH adjuster elevates the pH levels in your aquarium, helping to create a more alkaline environment when levels dip too low. pH measures the acidity or alkalinity of water, with a neutral value of 7.0; values above 7.0 indicate alkalinity, while values below 7.0 indicate acidity. Since various fish species require specific pH levels to thrive, it's crucial to regularly test your water to ensure that pH levels are within the desired range. The pH UP pH adjuster acts quickly, is clear, simple to apply, and will not cloud your aquarium water. Additionally, being free of phosphates and nitrates, it will not promote algae growth. Use an API pH TEST KIT to measure the pH of your aquarium water. To increase pH, add 1 ml for every 10 gallons of aquarium water. Before administering another dose of pH UP pH adjuster, make sure to take another pH measurement. Some fish may react sensitively to pH changes exceeding 0.2 within a 24-hour timeframe, so any adjustments of this scale should be approached with caution.Expires on 28 Jun 2030
