What We Test & Analyze
Our aquatics team tests key water parameters using lab-grade liquid testing methods to give you a complete picture of your tank's ecosystem:
Ammonia (NH₃/NH₄⁺)
Detects harmful waste spikes from fish waste or unconsumed food.
Nitrite (NO₂⁻)
Monitors the crucial second stage of your nitrogen cycle to prevent fish stress.
Nitrate (NO₃⁻)
Keeps organic buildup in check to control algae growth and protect long-term livestock health.
pH Levels
Measures acidity or alkalinity suited to your specific species (from South American cichlids to African rift lake dwellers).
General & Carbonate Hardness (GH & KH)
Tracks buffer capacity and essential minerals required for healthy shrimp, snails, and plant growth.
Salinity & Specific Gravity
Ensures precise salt concentrations for marine and reef tanks.
