Tropic Marin KH-/Alkalinity Test Professional for the very accurate determining of alkalinity (KH) in fresh and marine water aqauriums. The carbonate hardness (KH) or alkalinity of a water sample characterises the buffering capacity, i.e. the ability to maintain the pH value of the water. There are many terms in water chemistry to describe the buffering capacity with varying definitions. The term carbonate hardness is customary in fishkeeping, however, it is the alkalinity which is measured. In this test, both terms are used synonymously. The reading for alkalinity is usually given in degrees of German hardness (°dH).
The alkalinity should be tested in all aquariums with great regularity. If the alkalinity in the aquarium is too low, the pH value can sink (sudden drop in acidity) to a level which is life-threatening for many fish and invertebrates. In reef aquariums, an adequate alkalinity level is essential for strong coral growth. On the other hand, an overly high alkalinity in saltwater tanks can lead to calcium carbonate precipitates and also have a negative impact on coral growth. The alkalinity in saltwater aquariums should range from 6 to 9 °dH. The alkalinity in freshwater aquariums should not fall below 3 °dH.
The Tropic Marin KH/Alkalinity-Test Professional is a high resolution test kit for the determination of the alkalinity with a resolution of up to 0.1 °dH per titration, including a conversion table to other units. Easily recognizable colour change from turquoise blue to pink.

Thank you very muchC. E. at 29.07.2019:
Der TM KH/Alkalinity-Test ist sowohl für Süß- als auch für Meerwasser geeignet.
Ich nutze ihn für Meerwasser. Hierzu kann ich berichten, dass er wirklich unkompliziert in der Anwendung ist. Es bedarf nur 2 Komponenten und das Ergebnis kann quasi direkt von der Titrationsspritze abgelesen werden. Der Farbumschlag von blau auf rosa ist zudem recht deutlich, das 'Rätsel-raten', ob die Farbe nun tatsächlich erreicht ist, wie ich es zuletzt mit dem RS Alkalinity Pro Test Kit erlebt habe, entfällt.
Positiv zu vermerken ist außerdem, dass es den Test als Nachfüll-Packung gibt.
