Tropical Test GH/KH
An easy to use test for general and carbonate hardness in your pond or aquarium.
- Includes test tube, testing station and two bottles of reagent solution
Whilst many species of fish and aquatic animals will tolerate a range of hardness in their environment, but for some, specific levels are essential to good health. Higher levels of hardeness will also stabilise pH, which can make changing pH levels harder for some types of blackwater setups.
