The Salifert pH Test Kit is a quick, accurate way to check pH in marine and reef aquariums. Its range of pH 7.4–8.6 covers exactly where a saltwater tank should be.
Why test pH?
pH affects coral growth, fish health and how well calcium and alkalinity stay in solution. Most reef tanks sit around pH 7.8–8.4. A drifting pH can point to low alkalinity, high CO₂ in the room, or poor gas exchange.
