๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ช๐ฎ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ Provides a simple yet accurate way to test KH and GH levels within your aquarium. KH, also known as โtotal alkalinityโ or โcarbonate hardnessโ, is a measure of the buffering capacity of the water in your aquarium. The buffering capacity also refers to how well it can resist changes in pH. General Hardness โ a measure of the total amount of minerals dissolved in the water. Water hardness lies on a spectrum between โsoft waterโ or โhard waterโ depending on the number of dissolved minerals: the more minerals present, the greater the hardness.Hard water is responsible for the build-up of limescale.General Hardness a measure of the total amount of minerals dissolved in the water. Water hardness lies on a spectrum between โsoft waterโ or โhard waterโ depending on the number of dissolved minerals: the more minerals present, the greater the hardness. Hard water is responsible for the build-up of limescale. With the NT Labs Hardness Test you can measure these to ensure your aquarium is stable and in good condition, using the simple liquid drops. Ideally, your KH level, which is measured as dKH, should be at least 4 dKH, though ideally around 6 - 8 dKH. If you find that your water is lower, you can use a buffer to stabilise this and ensure your pH level is stable long term too. The GH level is measured as dGH, and would ideally be between 8 - 12 dGH for Ponds, though it will vary for aquariums depending on the fish you are keeping.

๐: The Aquarium Lab Hardness Test Kit from NT Labs provides a simple yet accurate way to test KH and GH levels within your aquarium. KH is the buffering capacity of water in your aquarium, preventing sudden pH changes. GH is the measure of the total mineral content of the water. Minerals are essential for the health of plants and fish.
๐๐/๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐: This test kit measures KH in dKH (where one dKH = 17.8 ppm as CaCO3). It is essential to maintain a minimum KH level of at least 4 dKH at all times. A KH of between 6 and 8 dKH is more desirable. Also for GH level This test kit measures GH in dGH (where one degree = 17.8 ppm as CaCO3). For pond fish, between 8 and 12 dGH is ideal whilst for aquarium fish the correct GH depends on the type of fish being kept. For soft water species, aim for a GH of around 3 to 6 dGH, whist for hard water species, 10 to 15 dGH is the correct range.
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐: Ensure the test tube is clean.Take a 5 ml sample of water into the test tube.Take the KH reagent and add one drop, mix and the water sample should turn pale blue.
Keep adding drops, one by one (remember to count the drops), mixing between drops, until the blue colour turns to yellow. The number of drops, including the first drop, needed to bring about the colour change is equal to the KH value in dKH. Should the first drop of reagent turn the sample yellow then the KH value is below 1 dKH โ this is extremely dangerous for fish.
