JBL Magnesium Test – Freshwater Aquariums

The JBL Magnesium Test is a precision water testing kit designed to monitor magnesium levels in freshwater aquariums, ensuring optimal conditions for healthy plant growth and overall aquarium stability. Maintaining correct magnesium concentrations is essential for replicating natural water conditions and preventing plant nutrient deficiencies.

Magnesium, along with calcium, contributes to general water hardness and serves as a vital macro-element for plant development. In many cases, tap water contains insufficient magnesium for aquatic plants, which can lead to stunted growth or visible deficiency symptoms. This test provides a reliable way to measure magnesium levels and take corrective action when necessary.

Key Features:

• Accurate Measurement: Provides precise magnesium readings for freshwater aquariums.

• Supports Plant Health: Ensures adequate magnesium levels to promote vigorous growth.

• Easy-to-Use Test Kit: Colour-change method allows straightforward, reliable testing.

• Problem Prevention: Helps identify nutrient deficiencies and avoid algae-related issues.

Recommended Magnesium Values:

• Freshwater (Community Aquariums): 5–10 mg/l

• Lake Malawi & Lake Tanganyika Aquariums: 5–10 mg/l

• Planted Aquariums / Aquascaping: 5–10 mg/l
