Minus PH 250ml – lowers the pH

Minus pH is a liquid preparation for aquarists who need to lower the pH of their aquarium water. It suits tanks housing species from the Amazon basin, which prefer slightly acidic water at pH 5.5–6.5, and setups where tap water is too alkaline for the fish kept in them.

Why it matters

• Stable water chemistry supports the ecological balance of the tank, and pH should stay close to natural values for the species kept.
• Dosing is measured: 1 ml lowers the pH by about 0.2 units per litre of water, so the change can be controlled step by step.
• Dosing is done outside the aquarium. The water is tested first, the preparation is added in portions, and the result is checked until the target value is reached.
• According to the manufacturer, a pH within the target range creates better conditions for breeding and has a positive effect on fish condition.

What it works with

The product is intended for freshwater aquariums where the pH needs to be lowered, particularly tanks with Amazonian species that require slightly acidic water. Because the dose depends on the volume of water, it is suited to tanks where the required amount can be calculated from the water volume and the pH measured before and after dosing.
