JBL Water Testing Solutions – Ensuring Healthy Aquariums and Ponds
Maintaining a healthy aquarium or pond requires water conditions that closely replicate natural environments. Even when water appears clear, it may contain invisible contaminants that can harm fish, plants, and beneficial microorganisms. Poor water quality can lead to the spread of diseases, uncontrolled algae growth, and long-term damage to the ecosystem.
JBL provides a comprehensive range of professional water tests—available as quick tests or precise colour change tests—designed to measure key water parameters. These tests allow aquarists and pond keepers to quickly identify imbalances such as elevated phosphate, nitrate, nitrite, potassium, or magnesium levels, enabling timely corrective action.
Why Regular Testing is Important:
In aquariums, phosphate levels often rise due to fish digestion and uneaten food. In ponds, decaying leaves and plant matter are the primary sources. When phosphate concentrations exceed natural levels—sometimes by over 100 times—undesirable algae can grow rapidly, disrupting the ecosystem balance.
Recommended Phosphate Levels:
-
Freshwater aquarium (community): 0–0.4 mg/l
-
Lake Malawi/Lake Tanganyika aquarium: 0–0.4 mg/l
-
Plant aquarium (aquascaping) with few fish: 0.1–1.5 mg/l
-
Marine aquarium: 0–0.1 mg/l
-
Pond: <0.05 mg/l
