Water from my aquarium (fresh water)

Why have my aquarium water analyzed?

Important analysis to ensure the correct balance of the aquarium water, and prevent problems related to the presence or accumulation of toxic products for fish, such as nitrites and nitrates. Some fish are very demanding on the quality of the water in terms of pH and hardness, the water must then be well adapted.

Description of the analyzes carried out by the laboratory

pH : Used to find out whether the water is acidic (<7), alkaline (> 7) or neutral.

Conductivity : Evaluation of the overall mineralization of water. Conductivity increases with mineralization

Hardness : Overall content of calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) salts

TA-TAC carbonates : Concentration of carbonates and bicarbonates

Nitrites : Undesirable chemical substance, toxic to fish in very small quantities.

Nitrates : Waste from the nitrogen cycle becoming toxic by accumulation.
