Knowing your animals is important: the preferred pH range of each species in your aquarium can vary. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA consistent pH reading is more ideal than frequent changes up or down. pH is influenced in the aquarium by many factors, including the KH content, respiration, organic waste decomposition, even the ammonia cycle. Because of this, frequent testing is recommended. Established systems should be tested once a month, and new systems or aquariums with fish illness or death should be monitored more often. Establishing a baseline pH of your aquarium throughout your normal routine will help alert you to problems early on.

Ammonia is commonly elevated in new tanks while establishing the beneficial biological filter. High ammonia can also be present in established aquariums from lack of maintenance, overstocking, or when the bio filter has been interrupted by medication. Ammonia can reach lethal levels very rapidly, and should be tested immediately in the case of fish illness or death. Monitor ammonia levels closely when using any medications or treatments. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ammonia level in any tank should ideally always be at 0 ppm.

If nitrite levels do not reduce, check the phosphate level with a Fritz Phosphate Test Kit.
