Aquavascular GH Test Kit

Aquavascular GH Test Kit – Mineral Hardness Test for Freshwater Aquariums

The Aquavascular GH Test Kit allows aquarists to monitor the mineral content of their aquarium water by measuring General Hardness (GH). GH reflects the combined levels of calcium and magnesium, minerals essential for fish metabolism, strong shrimp moults and robust plant growth. Regular GH testing helps maintain stable conditions and prevents stress caused by mineral deficiencies.

Ideal for RO/DI water users, shrimp keepers, planted tank hobbyists and anyone looking to maintain consistent hardness levels, this kit uses a clear colour-changing titration method for accurate readings.

Specifications for Aquavascular GH Test Kit

• Product Type: General Hardness (GH) reagent test kit
• Suitable For: Freshwater aquariums
• Testing Method: Drop-by-drop titration
• Accuracy: 1 drop = 1°dGH
• Colour Change: Orange → Light Green

How to Use the Aquavascular GH Test Kit

1. Take 5 ml of aquarium water in the test vial.
2. Add GH reagent drop by drop.
3. Shake the vial after each drop.
4. Stop when the water changes from orange to light green.
5. The number of drops used = GH value in °dGH.

Care & Maintenance Tips

• Test GH weekly in shrimp or heavily planted tanks.
• Use GH boosters if mineral levels drop too low.
• Monitor GH regularly when using RO or DI water.
• Maintain stable GH to support livestock health and plant nutrition.
• Store reagent in a cool, dark place for accuracy.
• Rinse test vials thoroughly after each use.
