Salifert pH Test Kit
Salifert pH Test Kit is a marine water test kit for aquarium keepers who need to accurately monitor pH in saltwater systems. It is designed to help track pH levels and fluctuations that can influence coral growth, calcareous algae growth and many biological processes in a marine aquarium.
Key Benefits
- Measures aquarium pH over a range of pH 7.4 - 8.6.
- Is sufficiently accurate to monitor pH fluctuations of approximately 0.2 pH units.
- Helps aquarists monitor whether pH remains preferably between 8.0 and 8.2.
- Provides approximately 50 tests per kit.
How to Use
- Use the Salifert test kit to test and monitor the pH of marine water regularly.
- Keep track of pH changes over a 24-hour period, as pH should not be allowed to fluctuate by more than approximately 0.3 units during 24 hours.
- If pH is low, assess alkalinity and aeration, as low alkalinity and/or insufficient aeration may be the cause.
- Low pH can be addressed by improving aeration and increasing alkalinity to the Natural Seawater (NSW) value, or to approximately 25% above NSW levels.
Suitable For
- Marine aquariums.
- Reef systems where coral and calcareous algae growth are important considerations.
- Saltwater aquarists monitoring pH stability and daily pH movement.
Specifications
- Brand: Salifert.
- Test type: Marine water pH test kit.
- pH range: pH 7.4 - 8.6.
- Accuracy for monitoring fluctuations: approximately 0.2 pH units.
- Approximate number of tests: 50 tests per kit.
- Preferred marine pH range: 8.0 to 8.2.
- Maximum preferred pH fluctuation over 24 hours: approximately 0.3 units.

- Salifert pH Marine Test Kit.
Frequently Asked Questions
What pH range does the Salifert pH Marine Test Kit measure?
The kit measures pH from pH 7.4 - 8.6, covering the preferred 8.0 to 8.2 pH range stated for marine water.
How many tests does this Salifert marine pH kit provide?
Each kit provides approximately 50 tests.
How accurately can this kit monitor pH changes?
The Salifert pH test kit is sufficiently accurate to monitor pH fluctuations of approximately 0.2 pH units.
How much should marine aquarium pH fluctuate in 24 hours?
pH should not be allowed to fluctuate by more than approximately 0.3 units during 24 hours.
What may cause low pH in a marine aquarium?
Low pH may result from alkalinity that is too low and/or insufficient aeration. Improving aeration and increasing alkalinity to NSW value, or up to approximately 25% above NSW levels, can correct low pH.
