Aquarium Water Conditioners and Purifiers / API pH Up 118mL

Item # APH160

Aquarium pH adjuster

API pH Up is a fast‑acting, colourless aquarium pH adjuster that safely raises pH and makes freshwater more alkaline, helping fish thrive in the correct water conditions. It’s phosphate‑free and nitrate‑free, so it won’t cloud the water or contribute to algae growth. Ideal for community aquariums, soft‑water species, and livebearers, this easy‑dose formula corrects low pH when testing shows levels are outside the healthy range. Regular weekly testing with an API pH Test Kit ensures stable, healthy water conditions for your fish.

pH measures how acidic or alkaline aquarium water is. A pH of 7.0 is neutral; values above are alkaline and values below are acidic. Different fish thrive at different pH levels, so understanding your tank’s pH helps prevent stress and sudden chemistry changes. High pH is common in areas with mineral‑rich tap water or in tanks where waste builds up.
