Use it to correct and increase pH to the desired level when setting up a new aquarium, adjusting pH or changing water.

A pH of 7.0 is ideal for a community aquarium of tropical fish. Goldfish and livebearers prefer a pH of 7.5, many Amazonian fish such as angelfish and neon tetras prefer pH 6.5 to 6.8, and mollies and swordtails thrive at pH 7.2 to 7.5. pH can fluctuate due to fish waste, uneaten food and the addition of tap water, so testing weekly is recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDirections for Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetermine the pH of aquarium water with an API pH Test Kit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo raise pH, add ½ teaspoon (2.5ml) for each 95L (25 US gallons) of aquarium water.
