Accurate Alkalinity Testing for Reef Stability

The Salifert KH/Alkalinity Test Kit provides precise measurement of carbonate hardness (KH) and alkalinity in marine aquariums. Alkalinity plays a vital role in maintaining stable pH levels and supporting coral and calcareous algae growth. Keeping alkalinity within the natural seawater range ensures strong coral skeleton formation and balanced biological processes.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Measures in fine steps of 0.1 meq/L or 0.3 dKH for high accuracy

  • Sharp colour change for easy detection of small fluctuations

  • Recommended alkalinity range: 2.7 meq/L (≈ 7.5 dKH)

  • Ideal for reef and marine aquariums requiring stable pH (8.1–8.4)

  • Performs approximately 100–200 tests per kit

Why Alkalinity Testing Matters

Alkalinity (carbonate hardness) is a measure of carbonate and bicarbonate levels, the major buffers that stabilize pH. When alkalinity drops, coral growth slows and pH becomes unstable. The Salifert KH/Alk Test Kit helps detect even small changes, allowing aquarists to take corrective action quickly and maintain long-term system stability. Furthermore, it pairs perfectly with Salifert KH + pH Buffer, which restores alkalinity without upsetting the pH balance.
