Accurately Measures dKH
Alkalinity is one of the most important parameters to measure in marine/reef aquariums. it helps maintain a stable pH, an important factor for most aquatic life. In seawater, bicarbonate is the largest contributor to alkalinity and is a critical element for healthy coral systems. Corals need bicarbonate and carbonate available to form their skeletons. Without an adequate level, healthy coral growth is not possible. Since bicarbonate levels can be difficult to determine, total alkalinity is measured instead. The alkalinity of natural seawater is typically 125 ppm (parts per million) or 7 dKH. In saltwater aquariums, the alkalinity values can range from120 to 200 ppm (7 to 11.2 dKH).
The Hanna dKH CHecker is a simple, accurate and cost effective way to measure alkalinity in seawater. Designed as a more accurate alternative to chemical test kits, this handheld colorimeter provides accurate and consistent alkalinity test results.
