COLOMBO CALCIUM MARINE WATER TEST KIT

NO2 MARINE WATER TEST KIT Colombo Nitrite Test Kit (NO2), is produced from the breakdown of nitrite in the filter. Nitrite is relatively harmless to freshwater fish, but its presence can indicate a deterioration in the aquarium environment, and high nitrite will encourage algae growth. The only way to know what the nitrate level is by testing it with a Nitrite test kit. Colombo have produced test kits that are developed especially for seawater. These tests give the best results!   Colombo, 30 years of experience, that makes the difference.

• Continuously monitors pH in freshwater
• No tests, no strips
• Lasts up to 4 times as long as competing products

Seachem pH Alert is a small unobtrusive sensor with a size that is almost half and lasts up to 4 times as long as competing products. It monitors the water 24 x 7 and changes colours according to the pH level. Seachem pH Alert continually monitors the pH level of freshwater aquarium and visually alerts you by colour changes on its sensor. Simply place the Seachem pH Alert in the aquarium or filter and it will monitor pH continuously. Its sensor changes color reversibly from yellow to orange to red, alerting you to shifts in pH levels between 5.4 and 8.0. Seachem pH Alert is for Freshwater use only.

Directions

Simply place Seachem pH Alert visibly anywhere in the aquarium or filter and match the sensor color to the corresponding pH reading on the color wheel. Its that easy. No chemicals or test procedures are required. When first put in service, response time will be about 30 minutes. Thereafter, pH shifts will register within ten minutes.

Indications

No care is required beyond removing algae with a clean, soft material. Do not use bleach, soap, detergents or hard objects to clean the sensor. Some dye medications may discolor the sensor. For maximum sensitivity, the unit should be read under natural daylight or daylight simulating light. Sensor exhaustion is indicated by a visible fading or washing out of sensor color. Once exhausted, it is time to replace pH Alert.

NITRITE FRESHWATER TEST KIT Colombo Aquarium Nitrite Test Kit, Nitrite (NO2) is produced from the breakdown of ammonia in the filter. Nitrite is highly toxic to fish, but is usually removed from the water by the bacteria which live inside the filter. However, in new ponds and aquariums, or if the filter bacteria are damaged, the nitrite level may become toxic. The only way to know what the nitrite level is by testing the water with a Nitrite pond test kit. A regular testing, especially in new aquaria and ponds, will prevent damage caused by nitrite poisoning. An optimal level of nitrite in any tank or pond is simply 0mg/l, when the nitrite level is 0.5 mg/l or higher it means there are not enough bacteria present.

GH FRESHWATER TEST KIT A correct General Hardness (GH) is essential for clear water. GH is a measurement for the total amount of dissolved minerals in the water; these minerals mainly consist of Calcium. These minerals are essential for the well being of your fish and plants. The best GH value in freshwater is between 8 and 12, when it is above 15 it is too hard and white lime deposits can occur. This can be damaging to pumps and internal filters as deposits may cause the pump or filter to cease. Full testing instructions included in the box.
