Monitoring Tips
- Place the monitor where it is easy to see
- Follow Seachem’s placement and replacement instructions
- Use the color chart to read the monitor
- Confirm unusual readings with a liquid test kit or digital meter
- Monitor KH along with pH for better water chemistry understanding
- Make pH changes gradually when using buffers
- Do not rely on one monitor alone for major water chemistry decisions
Important Aquarium Care Note
pH can change due to source water, KH, substrate, rocks, driftwood, CO2, buffers, water changes, biological activity, and aquarium maintenance. A pH monitor can help show trends, but it does not replace regular testing or understanding the cause of pH changes.
Sudden pH changes can stress aquarium livestock. Always test water and make adjustments gradually before using buffers or other water chemistry products.
