Healthy pond or aquarium and living conditions close to nature

The correct water parameters in the aquarium/pond depend on the fish population and the plants present. Even if the water looks clear, it can be polluted. If the parameters are wrong, diseases or algae can develop in the aquarium or pond. To have a healthy pond or aquarium with conditions close to the natural environment, it is important to regularly check and adapt the water parameters.

For every water analysis, JBL offers quick tests or color tests. These tests calculate a specific parameter or several parameters at the same time. They identify algae problems and negative parameters of nitrates, nitrites, potassium, magnesium, etc.

Why test?

Magnesium forms with calcium the total hardness. Magnesium is, along with potassium, one of the macroelements that corals need to grow well. Too low levels of calcium and magnesium compromise the growth of corals and prevent red calcareous algae from growing.

Recommended calcium level

• Marine aquarium: 1200-1600 mg/l
