ASF - Total Hardness GH Test Kit

SeaTest GH – General Hardness (GH) Test Kit for Freshwater Aquariums & Ponds

Overview

The SeaTest GH Kit is a high-precision general hardness (GH) test kit designed to help aquarists monitor and maintain proper GH levels in freshwater aquariums and ponds. GH measures the total concentration of dissolved calcium and magnesium salts, which are essential for physiological functions in fish, invertebrates, and aquatic plants. In addition to its biological importance, GH also helps stabilize KH (carbonate hardness), supporting pH stability. Since different species require different GH levels, regular testing ensures optimal water conditions for specific fish and plant requirements.

Key Features

• Accurate General Hardness Monitoring – Measures dissolved calcium and magnesium levels in aquarium and pond water.
• Essential for Fish & Plant Health – Ensures proper mineral balance for stable physiological processes.
• Stabilizes KH & pH Levels – Helps prevent pH fluctuations by maintaining balanced water hardness.
• Easy-to-Use Test Kit – Includes everything needed for simple and precise GH testing.
• Quick & Reliable Results – Detects GH before imbalances affect fish, plants, and invertebrates.
• Ideal for Species-Specific Requirements – Useful for soft-water species (e.g., tetras, discus) and hard-water species (e.g., cichlids, livebearers).

Contents

✔ 2 x 10 ml Test Reagents – Specially formulated for accurate GH detection.
✔ Measuring Cylinder – Ensures precise sample collection and testing.
✔ Instruction Manual – Step-by-step guidelines for effective GH monitoring.

Usage Instructions

1. Collect a water sample using the provided measuring cylinder.
2. Add the test reagent drop by drop, swirling between additions.
3. Observe the color change in the sample.
4. Compare results with the provided instructions to determine GH levels.
5. Adjust GH if necessary using water conditioners or mineral additives.

Recommended GH Levels

• Soft Water Species (Tetras, Discus, Rams, Shrimp): 3 – 6 dGH
• Neutral Water Species (Angelfish, Barbs, Gouramis, Community Tanks): 6 – 12 dGH
• Hard Water Species (Cichlids, Livebearers, Goldfish, Snails, Plants): 12 – 20 dGH
• Ponds: 6 – 20 dGH (Varies based on species and environment)

⚠ Note: GH values decrease over time due to biological processes, plant absorption, and water changes. Regular testing and GH adjustments help maintain a stable and healthy aquatic environment.

Precautionary Statements (H225)

⚠ Caution: Observe safety precautions when handling test reagents.

• H225 – Highly flammable liquid and vapor.

Precautionary Measures

✅ P210 – Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames, and ignition sources. No smoking.
✅ P305 + P351 + P338 – IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses if present and continue rinsing.
✅ P370 + P378 – In case of fire: Use appropriate fire-extinguishing methods.
✅ P403 + P235 – Store in a well-ventilated place and keep cool.
