It's also suitable for those experiencing pH fluctuations due to tap water conditions or biological load. However, if you maintain a planted freshwater aquarium requiring a lower pH (below 7.4), or a reef tank with extremely sensitive invertebrates needing very specific parameters, you might need a different specialized test kit. Always check the specific pH requirements for your fish species. ## How to use 1. Rinse the test tube with aquarium water. Fill the test tube with 5 ml of aquarium water. Add 10 drops of High Range pH test solution to the water. — Prepare for Testing 2. Cap the test tube and shake gently. Wait 5 minutes for the color to develop. Compare the color of the solution to the color card provided to determine the pH level. — Mix and Read 3. If the pH is outside the ideal range of 7.4-8.8, consult the instruction booklet for recommended adjustments. Use weekly or when fish health issues arise to maintain optimal water conditions. — Interpret and Adjust ## Product details | Field | Value | |---|---| | Testing Solution | High Range pH | | Irritant Classification | Irritant | | Tests Included | 160 | | pH Range Measured | 7.4 - 8.8 | | Recommended Use | Weekly monitoring and when water or fish problems appear | | Ideal For | Goldfish, Marine, and African Cichlids | | Shelf Life | 900 days | | Cost per use | 160 tests at ₹1,399 — ₹8.74 per test | | Brand | API | | Model Name | FW/SW HIGH RANGE PH TEST KIT | | Part Number | 27 | | Model Number | 27 | | Item Form | Liquid, Solid | | Material | Plastic | | Color | No Color | | Pet Type | Fish | | Item Weight | 0.15 pounds (68 g) | | Item Dimensions | 1.5 inches (L) x 2.38 inches (W) x 5.125 inches (H) | | Package Dimensions | 4.2 cm (L) x 7.1 cm (W) x 12.7 cm (H) | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Number of Boxes | 1 | | Country of Origin | Not stated by manufacturer — US retail version, sourced from authorized US retailers | ## Attributes - **Item form:** Liquid, Solid ## Frequently asked questions ### How to buy an original API High Range pH Test Kit in India?
