• Test strips for 7 important water parameters in 1 minute: orientation quick test for aquarium, pond, well, spring and pipe water.
• Easy to use: Shake the test strip for 2-3 seconds in water. Remove it from the water and drain it horizontally. After one minute, compare the scan strip with the color chart on the box. Read the CO2 in the table.
• Determination of the following water parameters: chlorine, acidity (pH), total hardness (GH), toxic nitrogen compounds (NO2), cause of algae (NO3), pH stability (KH) and main plant nutrient (content in CO2 on table).
• Other individual tests are available in the JBL range, such as the Phosphate or Ammonium/Ammonia tests.
• Contents: 50 EasyTest 7 in 1 analysis strips with color chart and CO2 table.

Healthy aquarium and living conditions close to nature The right water parameters in the aquarium depend on the fish population and the plants present. Even if the water looks clear, it can be polluted. If the parameters are wrong, diseases or algae can develop in the aquarium. To have a healthy aquarium with conditions close to the natural environment, it is important to regularly check and adapt the water parameters.

For every water analysis, JBL offers quick tests or color tests. These tests calculate a specific parameter or several parameters at the same time. They identify algae problems and negative parameters of nitrates, nitrites, potassium, magnesium, etc.

Why test?

Magnesium forms with calcium the total hardness. Magnesium is, like potassium, one of the macroelements that plants need to grow well. Tap water usually contains too little magnesium for aquatic plants, so they can quickly show deficiencies. Despite regular fertilization of the aquarium water, the available amounts of magnesium can be too low and plant growth stagnates.

Recommended magnesium level

Freshwater aquarium (community): 5-10 mg/l Malawi-Tanganyika aquarium: 5-10 mg/l
Planted tank with few fish (aquascaping): 5-10 mg/l Seawater aquarium: magnesium levels in seawater vary between 1200 and 1600 mg/l. This test is therefore not suitable for this. For seawater, use the special test: JBL Magnesnium/Calcium Test.
