For fish with specific pH requirements or for general tropical community aquaria requiring a neutral pH, the pH 6–7.6 Test provides quick and accurate pH measurement. It also offers precision with 0.2 unit determination.

What is the correct pH level?
There is no definitive correct pH as different fish species have their preferred pH range. Generally, the ideal pH value will lie between 7 and 8, but there are some exceptions. When purchasing fish from your local aquatic retailer, always enquire as to the specific water requirements of the fish you are buying.

What do I do if the level is wrong?
If you do need to adjust the pH of your pond, it is vital to do this slowly to not shock the fish. Change no more than 0.5 pH units per 2 days. Providing your tap water is of suitable pH, substantial water changes can correct a dangerous pH level. It is also important to check the KH of the pond. Use of pH adjusters, such as KH Buffer up will raise the pH caused by soft or aged water. For fish that live in soft, acid water use bogwood to gently lower the pH and soften the water.

How to use?

  • Ensure the test tube is clean.
  • Take a 5ml sample of water into the test tube.
  • Add 5 drops of the pH reagent; replace the test tube cap and shake thoroughly.
  • Compare the colour of your sample to the colour scale provided.

Pallet Drop Deliveries (Large/Fragile Items i.e. Fish Tanks)

Large and fragile items such as fish tanks, which cannot be fulfilled by standard courier companies will be palletised and delivered within the pallet network. Pallet deliveries are undertaken by large vehicles where the pallet will be delivered curb-side for customers to process.

Pallet deliveries are usually free of charge to mainland UK. Customers outside mainland UK will be contacted prior to processing your order should further charges apply.

Due to the nature of the pallet network, expected delivery dates are only estimated. We endeavour to ask drivers to call customers in advance but this doesn't always happen. Should a delivery fall outside of your expected date, Complete Koi and Aquatics will not be liable for this. Once a palletised consignment has been despatched, it cannot be cancelled or refunded.

Fish Deliveries

ALL fish purchased via Complete Koi & Aquatics will also be sent out via APC as a next-day, non-conveyable, wet delivery with an AM time slot. Due to the health of the fish we are unable to offer an afternoon delivery. The fish are packed with plenty of oxygen and water to get them through the night. They are kept in the secure caged part of the vans and are handled with care. When the fish arrive, carefully float the bags in the pond to acclimatise them. Generally, we recommend floating the bags for around 30 minutes. After this we then recommend introducing small amounts of pond water to the bag for a further 15 minutes, prior to introducing them to their new home.

Royal Mail Deliveries - £3.99

Orders under £49.00 will also have the option to purchase our standard Royal Mail delivery service. This costs £3.99 and generally takes 2-3 working days.
