NT Labs KH Stabiliser is designed to safely raise KH (carbonate hardness) levels in your aquarium,...NT Labs KH Stabiliser is designed to safely raise KH (carbonate hardness) levels in your aquarium, helping maintain the ideal pH for fish species that require higher water hardness. This effective solution ensures a stable environment for your aquatic life, reducing the risk of pH swings. Key Features: Supports Water Stability: Safely increases KH levels to maintain a consistent pH. Ideal for Sensitive Species: Essential for fish requiring higher KH and pH conditions. Accurate Dosage: 6g treats 100 litres of water, raising KH by 2°dKH. Easy Application: Dissolves easily in water for hassle-free use. Treats Large Volumes: One 180g pack treats up to 1500 litres. Directions for Use: Use 6g (1 teaspoon) for every 100 litres of water to increase KH by 2°dKH. Dissolve in a small amount of aquarium water before adding to the tank. Do not raise KH by more than 2°dKH in 24 hours. Test KH levels regularly with an Aquarium Hardness Test Kit. Maintain optimal water conditions for your fish with NT Labs KH Stabiliser, ensuring a healthy and balanced aquarium environment.
This guide is for aquarium enthusiasts using NT Labs KH Stabiliser to maintain stable pH levels for their aquatic life. The primary benefit is the ability to safely raise carbonate hardness (KH) and prevent harmful pH swings, crucial for the health of sensitive fish species. Note that regular testing with an Aquarium Hardness Test Kit is essential for monitoring and adjusting KH levels effectively.

FAQs
How often should I test my water?
Test your water at least once a week, or more frequently if you are experiencing any water quality issues or introducing new fish.
Can I overdose the KH Stabiliser?
Yes, overdosing can negatively impact your water parameters and harm your fish. Always follow the recommended dosage.
What should I do if the KH level is too high?
Perform a partial water change using water that has a lower KH level. Avoid adding any KH-increasing products until the KH is within the desired range.
Is this product safe for all fish?
While generally safe, research the specific KH and pH requirements of your fish species before use.
How long does it take for the product to work?
The KH Stabiliser typically starts working within a few hours of application, but it's best to test after a few hours to be sure.
How do I measure the correct amount of the product?
Use a measuring spoon for accurate dosage. 6g is equivalent to 1 teaspoon for every 100 litres of water.
Troubleshooting
KH levels not increasing after use.
Double-check the dosage and ensure the product is properly dissolved. Test your water and allow more time, but do not exceed the recommended daily increase of 2°dKH.
Cloudy water after adding KH Stabiliser.
This is usually temporary and resolves within a few hours. Ensure proper dosage and good water circulation. If it persists, perform a partial water change.
