Watertests

eSHa Aqua-Quick-Test contains 50 Test strips = 250 single tests for the quick and exact determination of pH value, total hardness (GH/TH), carbonate hardness (KH), nitrite (NO²) and nitrate (NO³) in freshwater aquaria or garden pond.

The Colombo PH Test Kit measures the pH value to denote whether water is acidic, neutral or basic. If the water is too acidic or basic, this can quickly result in the death of fish.

The Colombo Quick Test 6-in-1 you can measure quickly and easily six major water's value. The quick test strip can be pH - determine Nitrite and Nitrate value - KH - GH and CL2. Dip the test strip for 1 second into the water. Remove the strip from the wat

The degradation or mineralisation process of all organic substances in the aquarium and pond follows these stages: proteins > ammonium > nitrite > nitrate. By measuring these stages conclusions can be drawn about the “functioning” of the systems aquarium

Determines optimal nitrate value for perfect plant growth or possible cause of algae growth in freshwater & marine water.

Nitrite results during the degradation by bacteria of protein and ammonium. It is normally processed further into non-toxic nitrate. In aquarium and pond water nitrite (NO2) should not be measurable.

The well-being of aquarium and pond dwellers and the growth of aquatic plants depend to a large extent on the pH level being kept as constant as possible.

In an aquarium, phosphate primarily enters the water as a result of the digestive processes of the fish or in the form of food remains. In ponds, phosphate primarily enters the water as a result of leaves and dying pond plants/algae.
