The
JBL Permanent Test CO2 plus pH is a beautifully designed unit for attaching inside the aquarium which permanently displays the pH value or the CO2 content of the aquarium water. Two separate colour scales, one for pH and the other for CO2, are included with the unit to be attached to the pane of the aquarium, as required.
The pH-level indicates the acidity of the water. The higher the pH-level, the less acid is in the water, the proportion of alkali is higher (the opposite of acids). The lower the pH-level, the more acid the water contains. In aquariums and ponds the following levels are desirable.
Community aquariums: pH: 6,5 - 7,5
Lake Malawi and Tanganyika aquariums: pH: 7,5-8,5
