Maintain the delicate balance of your saltwater aquarium with the Red Sea pH/Alkalinity Test Kit. This dual-purpose kit provides a simple and reliable method for accurately measuring two of the most critical water parameters for a thriving reef environment. Regular testing of pH and alkalinity is essential for promoting healthy coral growth, skeletal development, and overall tank stability, making this kit a cornerstone of proper reef husbandry.
The combined kit offers exceptional value, providing enough reagents for up to 100 pH tests and 55 alkalinity (kH) tests. The pH test is a colormetric type with an accuracy of 0.2 within a range of 7.6 to 8.6, perfect for typical reef conditions. The alkalinity test utilizes a high-precision titrator to achieve an accuracy of 1 dKH (0.36 meq/L) across an unlimited range, allowing for precise adjustments and monitoring of carbonate hardness in your system.
This test kit is ideal for any saltwater or reef aquarium hobbyist who wants to ensure a stable and healthy aquatic environment. Whether you are just starting out or are an experienced reefer managing a complex system, the ease of use and accuracy of Red Sea's tests make it an indispensable tool. It empowers aquarists to proactively manage their water chemistry, preventing drastic swings that can stress corals and other sensitive inhabitants.

This version of ALK testing requires drops from a pipette. Each drop requires shaking for 10 seconds. To get a reading of 8.4 requires 20 drops and 10 seconds per drop. A lot of room for error. I am going to order the other Red Sea test kit far easier.
I really only wanted the pH component of this (wish they had a pH only kit!) but even still, cost effective, fast, and pretty easy to read.
The dropper on the Alk is inaccurate and only measures whole numbers. My readings fluctuatate too much, so I'm going back to the other RedSea Pro kit. Red Sea color changing tests are read best is daylight, so I don't care for the PH test either. I do most of my testing at night, and the colors do not match the card well. I prefer th Elos brand for PH.
Comes with testing reagents for 100 pH tests and 55 kH test, which is pretty decent for the price and quality to Red Sea is known for. The kH test takes a little to get used to, but it becomes easy after a few tests. The first drop doesn't necessary change the water to blue like it is printed on the card.
