Easy and reliable control of water values in marine aquariums. Determines the ideal copper value for the monitoring of heavy metals in saltwater aquariums

Laboratory comparator system to compensate the inherent water colouring: fill plastic cuvette with sample water, add reagents to another cuvette, place cuvettes in holder, read values on colour chart

Online Laboratory: regular control for a healthy aquarium/pond with natural conditions. JBL has water tests in the form of quick tests or colour change tests for every water analysis. Testing aquarium water for healthy, clear water

Precise measurement of the following values:

• pH test: acidity of the water from 7.4 to 9.0
• KH test: pH stability of the water (carbonate hardness)
• Ca test: most important macro-element for the growth of invertebrates
• Mg test: important macro-element for the growth of invertebrates and calciferous red algae
• Cu test: deadly heavy metal for invertebrates. Also important for setting the therapeutic dose of medications
• NO2 test: toxic nitrogen compound
• NO3 test: too high nitrate values cause unwanted algae growth
• NH4 test: indication of non-toxic ammonium, determination of the toxic ammonia using table
• PO4 test: high phosphate values lead to unwanted algae growth
• SiO2 test: cause for diatoms
• O2 test: basic requirement for fish and plants

Package contents: 1 quick test, Copper test Cu. contents for approx. 50 measurements incl. 2 reagents, 2 glass vials with screw cap, syringe, comparator block and colour scale. Refill reagents available separately

Healthy aquariums with conditions close to nature

The right water values are dependent on the fish stock and the plants in the aquarium. Even if the water looks clear it can be contaminated. With bad values diseases or algae can appear in the aquarium. To maintain a healthy aquarium with conditions close to nature it is important to check and adapt the water values regularly.

For each water analysis JBL provides water tests in the form of quick tests or colour change tests. These determine a certain value or several values in one go. With these water tests you can recognise algae problems and negative nitrate, nitrite, potassium, magnesium values etc.

Why test?

Copper is a heavy metal which, on the one hand, is essential as a trace element for plant and animal organisms. On the other hand, excessive concentrations can have a devastating effect as a cytotoxin. Copper usually enters the aquarium by means of heavy metals in tap water or by metal objects in the water. And it enters ponds via guttering made of copper alloys. Good water conditioners can bind the copper. But copper can also be useful to combat fish disease.
