Ph Up Freshwater Aquarium Water pH Raising Solution
pH is the measure of acidity of water, on a scale ranging from 0 to 14. A pH of 0 is the most acidic, while a pH of 14 is the most alkaline. Different geographies have different tap water conditions with different pH levels, while fish require a specific pH level to thrive. A pH of 7.0 is ideal when keeping a community aquarium containing a variety of tropical fish. Goldfish and livebearers prefer a pH of 7.5. Many Amazonian fish, like angelfish and neon tetras, prefer a pH of 6.5 to 6.8. Mollies and swordtails thrive at pH 7.2 to 7.5.
API pH UP Freshwater Aquarium Water pH Raising Solution raises aquarium pH in freshwater aquariums to desired level. Safe for fish and plants. Use when setting up a new aquarium, adjusting pH, or changing water. pH in an aquarium can fluctuate.

I used this solution to adjust the pH in my community tank. It worked smoothly without stressing my fish. The instructions were clear and the bottle is easy to handle. Good for beginners and experienced aquarists alike.
Jonathan Gray –
The pH stabilized after a few uses. My neon tetras seemed calm and active. I didn’t notice any side effects on the plants. Would recommend for tropical fish setups.
Joan Gray –
Set up a new tank and the water pH was too low. Used this solution as directed and the pH rose to 7.2 within hours. My fish didn’t show any signs of distress.
Anna Rees –
It raised the pH, but I had to use it more frequently than expected. Maybe not ideal for large tanks. Still useful for small adjustments.
