As far as I know, you can't raise the pH above 8 with soda. Many people don't use the nitrite test because they are not as harmful in seawater as in freshwater. In addition to pH, it's essential to monitor carbonate hardness or alkalinity.

Tell me more about carbonate hardness (alkalinity). What ranges should they be kept in? How can this be achieved? And what does this indicator affect? In short, "more details from this point"…

Calcium test, calcium constantly decreases in the sea.

I suggest using calcium hydroxide, but be careful. Everything will be fine. Regarding ammonia and nitrites, please check our website.

People advised to also get a phosphate test... Who can explain what is dangerous about phosphates, where they come from, what concentrations should be maintained? And how to deal with them...

They are frightening because they provoke the growth of algae.

How often should these tests be conducted?
Michelle
At the moment the aquasystem is launched, it often happens, and then as soon as all parameters stabilize, it happens less frequently... as soon as you introduce new inhabitants or change equipment, it's advisable to monitor the readings as well. In general, it will become apparent later that something is wrong in the aquarium - (visual inspection - deterioration - water testing - taking measures)...

Which brand of test kits is the best to choose? Or are they all the same across different brands?

That's a good question, as I understand there are a whole bunch, I know there are in RED SEA and in TUNZA.

The tests from the companies JBL and Tropic Marin have proven to be effective for us.
