All About PH Value How To Check And Control Your Aquarium Water

The pH level of a marine aquarium is an important aspect of water chemistry that needs to be monitored 1. The ideal range for a marine aquarium is between 7.8 to 8.5, with a pH of 8.2 being ideal because that is the pH of natural seawater.

To maintain the pH level in your aquarium, you should follow a consistent maintenance routine, carry out regular water changes, and properly treat your tap water before adding it to your fish tank. You can also invest in an electronic pH monitor that displays a continuous LCD display of the pH in your tank.

If you need to raise the pH level in your marine aquarium, you can try lowering the CO2 levels in the water by increasing aeration or surface agitation. However, it’s important to avoid making dramatic changes that could send your reef on a pH roller coaster ride.
