Tetra aqua ph/kh minus 250 ml

Tetra Aqua pH/KH Minus is a liquid product specifically formulated to regulate the pH and carbonate hardness (KH) values ​​in aquarium water. With a 250 ml bottle, it allows you to maintain a stable aquatic environment suitable for the life of fish and aquarium plants sensitive to chemical variations. The use of this water conditioner helps prevent stress and disease in fish by ensuring optimal chemical balance.

It works by lowering pH and KH levels in a controlled way, promoting the creation of a natural habitat suitable for specific species of aquatic fauna that require softer and less alkaline water. It is an easy to use product, which can be dosed precisely thanks to its compact and liquid format.

pH regulation is essential for the well-being of aquarium organisms, as extreme variations can compromise the health of animals and plants. Likewise, KH (carbonates and bicarbonates) affects the stability of the pH and therefore the maintenance of an optimal environment in the long term.

Therapeutic Indications

Tetra Aqua pH/KH Minus is indicated for use in freshwater aquariums where it is necessary to reduce the pH and carbonate hardness (KH) of the water safely and gradually. It is particularly useful in aquariums containing fish and plant species that prefer more acidic and softer water conditions, such as many species of tetras, bettas, African cichlids or delicate tropical plants. The product helps prevent the onset of stress conditions linked to excessively high pH or excessive KH, which could alter the metabolism and vital functions of aquatic organisms.

Regular use of Tetra Aqua pH/KH Minus allows you to keep water chemical levels stable, promoting a balanced environment, while reducing the formation of unwanted algae due to incorrect pH values ​​and improving overall water quality. It is ideal for corrective interventions in already started aquariums or after water changes when the make-up water has different chemical characteristics from those of the aquarium.

The product can also be used in case of problems caused by high concentrations of carbonates which make it difficult to regulate the pH with other methods, offering an effective solution without drastically altering the balance of the water.

Composition

Active ingredients: the formula contains selected acidifying agents which allow the controlled reduction of pH and carbonate hardness. These components are chosen for their effectiveness in modifying the chemical characteristics of water without creating harmful side effects for aquatic fauna and flora.

Among the excipients there are stabilizing substances that ensure uniform distribution of the acidifying agents in the liquid and facilitate precise dosing. The ingredients are pure and compatible with use in aquariums, they do not contain phosphates or other substances potentially harmful to the aquatic ecosystem.

The absence of toxic or aggressive components is certified to ensure a healthy and natural environment for fish, invertebrates and plants. Each dosage is designed not to abruptly alter the environment but to guarantee a progressive and safe modification of the chemical parameters of the water.

Contraindications

Do not use Tetra Aqua pH/KH Minus in aquariums containing fish or invertebrate species particularly sensitive to rapid changes in pH or carbonate hardness without first consulting an expert. Avoid excessive dosages or too frequent administrations, as they could cause a too rapid drop in pH or harmful chemical imbalances.

Not suitable for use in saltwater aquariums or in water systems with already very low pH or already reduced carbonates, where further lowering could be dangerous. Pay attention not to mix the product with other chemical treatments without having checked their compatibility.

Keep out of reach of children and non-aquatic pets, and do not ingest the product. In case of contact with eyes or skin, rinse thoroughly with water. Do not use in the presence of open wounds on animals or in compromised health conditions without veterinary or expert aquarist advice.

Product safety for the species

Tetra Aqua pH/KH Minus is formulated to be safe for most species of freshwater fish, invertebrates and plants when used as directed. Controlled administration ensures that chemical changes occur gradually, minimizing stress and risks of intoxication.

Correct use of the product helps maintain a healthy and stable aquatic environment, which is fundamental for the growth and vitality of all organisms. Attention to compatibility with the species present and to the initial parameters of the water is essential to avoid unwanted effects.

In case of doubts about the response of organisms to the use of the product, it is advisable to carry out small and gradual tests, constantly monitoring pH and KH levels. Timely adjustments and calibrated dosages guarantee optimal safety for all hosted species.

Precautions

Before use, always measure the pH and KH values ​​of the water to determine the need for intervention and the right quantity of product to administer. Avoid sudden and continuous changes that could destabilize the aquatic ecosystem.

During application, distribute the product evenly in the water recirculation area to favor its homogeneous diffusion. Shake the bottle well before use and dose carefully following the instructions for the quantity per liter of water to be treated.

Store the product in a cool, dry place, away from sources of heat and direct light, and always tightly closed to preserve its effectiveness. Keep out of reach of children and do not ingest.

Method of administration

The dosage of Tetra Aqua pH/KH Minus varies based on the volume of the aquarium and the initial pH and KH values ​​to be corrected. We recommend starting with small quantities and testing the chemical parameters a few hours after application, to avoid too rapid or intense drops.

The product must be administered diluted and distributed evenly in water, preferably in several points of the aquarium to ensure homogeneous distribution. After administration, it is advisable to constantly monitor the pH and hardness values ​​to evaluate whether further intervention is necessary.

In the case of aquariums with complex biological filtration systems, it is advisable to observe the reactions of the organisms present and avoid overdoses which could compromise the microbial balance. Use together with other chemical products must be carefully evaluated to avoid unwanted interactions.

Treatment program

Treatment with Tetra Aqua pH/KH Minus must be planned based on the specific needs of the aquarium and the species hosted. In the presence of high pH and KH values, a gradual and controlled application is recommended, with dosages repeated at regular intervals to obtain a stable and long-lasting lowering.

During water changes, it is useful to use the product to maintain constant chemical conditions and prevent chemical shocks in fish and plants. Continuous monitoring will help modulate doses and avoid sudden changes.

The treatment can be stopped once the desired values ​​have been reached, while continuing to monitor regularly to maintain a balanced environment over time. In case of changes in the biological load or in the organisms hosted, it may be necessary to restart the treatment or modify it accordingly.

Target species

Tetra Aqua pH/KH Minus is intended for use in freshwater aquariums housing a wide range of tropical and temperate fish species, invertebrates such as shrimp or snails and delicate aquatic plants. It is particularly suitable for species that require acidic or semi-acidic water conditions, with a pH lower than 7 and moderate or low carbonate hardness values.

Suitable for aquarists who wish to maintain or recreate natural environments such as Amazonian, Asian or African biotopes, where the control of pH and KH is fundamental for the survival and health of organisms. Also usable in community aquariums where chemical stability is crucial to the overall well-being of fish and plants.

Not recommended for marine or saltwater aquariums, where water chemistry and biological needs are different.
