pH is the measure of acidity of water, on a scale ranging from 0 to 14. A pH of 0 is the most acidic, while a pH of 14 is the most alkaline. Different geographies have different tap water conditions with different pH levels, while fish require a specific pH level to thrive. A pH of 7.0 is ideal when keeping a community aquarium containing a variety of tropical fish. Goldfish and livebearers prefer a pH of 7.5. Many Amazonian fish, like angelfish and neon tetras, prefer a pH of 6.5 to 6.8. Mollies and swordtails thrive at pH 7.2 to 7.5. API pH UP Freshwater Aquarium Water pH Raising Solution raises aquarium pH in freshwater aquariums to desired level. Safe for fish and plants. Use when setting up a new aquarium, adjusting pH, or changing water. pH in an aquarium can fluctuate due to fish waste, uneaten food and addition of tap water. It is recommended to test water for pH weekly. With API Aquarium products, it’s easy to keep a beautiful saltwater, freshwater or reef aquarium.

Important information
Directions
Test the pH level of pond water with an API POND WIDE RANGE PH TEST KIT. Using the dosing cap on the bottle, add 10 ml (2 tsp.) of pH UP for each 50 U.S. gallons (190 L) of pond water. For best results, add to water flow. Tip: pH UP works by slowly neutralizing acidic substances that cause low pH in pond water. It’s important to test the pH when using pH UP. pH should be raised no more than .5 units every 24 hours. Do not treat the pond more than once every 24 hours. Plants and algae cause a temporary increase in pH in the afternoon; therefore, pH should be tested in the morning to obtain the lowest reading.
