API pH Up, 16 OZ

API® pH UP pH Level Regulator works to raise the pH levels in your aquarium to make the water more alkaline when levels drop significantly. The pH level is a measure of the acidic or alkaline conditions in the water, where a value of 7.0 corresponds to a neutral pH level, values around 7.0 are considered alkaline, while values below 7.0 are considered acidic.

Different fish species require different pH levels to stay healthy, so it's important to regularly test the water to ensure that the pH levels are where they should be. The pH UP regulator is fast-acting, colorless, easy to use, and will not cause cloudiness in the aquarium water. Since it is free of phosphates and nitrates, the pH UP regulator will not encourage algae growth.

Determine the pH level in the aquarium water using the API pH test kit. To raise the pH level, add 1 ml for every 10 gallons of aquarium water.

Take another pH level reading before adding another dose of the pH UP regulator.

Some fish species may be sensitive to pH adjustments that exceed 0.2 over a 24-hour period, so changes of this magnitude should be made with great caution.
