Detail
The product buffers the pH value and stops acid levels from plummeting
It is important to optimise the KH and pH values of nature-like water to meet the needs of the various species of fish
With regard to pH stability, the KH should not generally drop below 3 °dH to ensure the well-being of all aquarium inhabitants
Soft water fish such as discus feel at home with a KH of approximately < 5 °dH
A KH of approximately > 10 °dH is ideal for hardwater fish such as Lake Tanganyika cichlids
Suitable for all freshwater and marine aquariums
More information
Tetra pH/KH Plus is your go-to solution for achieving a precise and controlled increase in carbonate hardness (KH) in your aquarium to improve living conditions for certain species of fish. Understanding that the pH value is influenced by both KH and carbon dioxide (CO2) levels, this product allows you to effectively manage these parameters. When CO2 levels remain constant, the pH can only be adjusted through changes in KH, making Tetra pH/KH Plus an essential tool for maintaining a stable aquatic environment. This product not only buffers the pH value but also prevents acid levels from dropping too low, which is crucial for the health of your fish. To create nature-like water conditions that cater to various species, it’s important to optimise both KH and pH values. For instance, fish like discus thrive in environments with a KH of less than 5 °dH, while fish such as Lake Tanganyika cichlids prefer a KH greater than 10 °dH. Maintaining a KH level above 3 °dH is vital for ensuring the well-being of all aquarium inhabitants. Tetra pH/KH Plus is suitable for all freshwater and marine aquariums, making it a versatile addition to your aquarium care routine. To ensure optimal conditions for your aquatic life, regularly check your water parameters using Tetra Test 7in1. For effective use, simply add 5 ml of Tetra pH/KH Plus per 20 L of aquarium water to achieve an increase of around 1 °dH. If you need to raise the KH by more than this amount, adjust the dosage accordingly; for example, use 10 ml per 20 L for a 2 °dH increase. Remember that the maximum increase per day should not exceed 3 °dH. For accurate measurement, utilise the dosing cap included with the product.

FAQs
What is Tetra pH/KH Plus?
Tetra pH/KH Plus is a water care liquid designed to increase the pH and carbonate hardness (KH) levels in aquariums. It helps create a more stable environment for certain fish species and plants that thrive in harder, more alkaline water conditions.
How does Tetra pH/KH Minus Plus work?
Tetra pH/KH Plus works by releasing bicarbonate ions into the water, which raise both the pH and KH levels. This process helps buffer the water, making it less susceptible to fluctuations in acidity and providing a more stable environment for aquatic life.
When should I use Tetra pH/KH Plus?
You should use Tetra pH/KH Plus when your aquarium's pH or KH levels are lower than desired for the specific fish or plants you keep. Regular testing of water parameters with the Tetra 7in1 Test will help determine when adjustments are necessary.
How do I apply Tetra pH/KH Plus?
For effective use, simply add 5 ml of Tetra pH/KH Plus per 20 L of aquarium water to achieve an increase of around 1 °dH. If you need to raise the KH by more than this amount, adjust the dosage accordingly; for example, use 10 ml per 20 L for a 2 °dH increase. Remember that the maximum increase per day should not exceed 3 °dH. For accurate measurement, utilize the dosing cap included with the product.
Can I combine Tetra ph/KH Plus safely with other water care products?
It is generally advisable to check the instructions on each product label before combining Tetra pH/KH Plus with other water care products. Avoid using multiple products that affect pH or KH simultaneously, as this can lead to unpredictable results.
What safety instructions do I need to follow when using pH/KH Plus?
When using Tetra pH/KH Plus, follow these safety instructions: Avoid skin contact; keep the product out of reach of children; and avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
What happens if I overdose Tetra pH/KH Plus?
If you overdose Tetra pH/KH Plus, it can lead to a rapid increase in both pH and KH levels, potentially causing stress or harm to your fish and other aquatic life. Sudden changes can disrupt biological balance in the aquarium. If you suspect an overdose, test your water parameters immediately, perform a partial water change if necessary, and monitor your fish closely for any signs of distress.
How do I know which pH and KH levels my aquarium water has?
To determine the pH and KH levels in your aquarium water, use an aquarium test kit or test strips like the Tetra 7in1 Test specifically designed for measuring these parameters. These tests are easy to use and provide accurate readings of your current water conditions.
Which parameters affect the pH and KH levels in my aquarium?
Several factors can affect the pH and KH levels in your aquarium, including:
- The type of substrate used
- The presence of driftwood or rocks
- The type of fish and plants kept
- Water changes with tap water that may have different hardness levels
- Organic waste decomposition
Why are the pH and KH levels in my aquarium so important?
The pH and KH levels are crucial because they influence fish health, plant growth, and overall ecosystem stability. Incorrect levels can lead to stress, weakened immune systems in fish, poor plant health, and increased susceptibility to diseases.
