{"product_id":"seachem-multitest-marine-ph-alkalinity","title":"Seachem MultiTest Marine pH \u0026 Alkalinity","description":"\u003cp\u003eMarine pH should be 8.2—8.4. Tanks dosed with limewater may go as high as 8.6. Natural sea water has a total alkalinity of 2—3 meq\/L, but aquarium water should have a total alkalinity of 4—6 meq\/L.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis test kit features a unique dye that has a pronounced color change between 8.0 and 8.3, making it the easiest kit on the market to read in that critical range. It is suitable for marine or brackish water only. Alkalinity may be read from the same sample in 0.5 meq\/L increments. MultiTest Marine pH \u0026amp; Alkalinity performs over 75 tests and contains a reference sample for validation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit measures total alkalinity. Total alkalinity is a measure of the carbonate, bicarbonate, borate and hydroxide content of the water, expressed as the acid neutralizing capacity of the water in meq\/L (milliequivalents\/Liter). The expression of alkalinity as meq\/L is chemically sound and the most useful way to express this property of the water to resist change in pH.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list list-icons list-icons-style-3 list-icons\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnique dye that has a pronounced color change between 8.0 and 8.3\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMulti-cavity plate for simultaneous testing of up to 6 tests at the same time\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIncludes reference for test validation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMarine or high pH Freshwater\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e75 Tests\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMultiTest Marine pH \u0026amp; Alkalinity performs over 75 tests\u003cbr\u003eAnd with the multi-cavity test plate, multiple tests can be run at the same time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccuracy\u003cbr\u003eRange - \u003c\/strong\u003eMeasures between 7.80–8.70 pH and alkalinity from 0–∞\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrecision\u003c\/strong\u003e - Detectable changes on the color chart in 0.01 pH units.
