Kent Marine True pH minus 8oz
	Description: Safely lowers pH of tap or aquarium water when used as directed. When used in conjunction with Kent pH STABLE, it will provide a buffered, acidic pH in the system. The use of a good pH test kit is absolutely necessary while using this product, and the use of an alkalinity test kit is strongly recommended! CAUTION! Many electronic pH pens and probes drift over time and frequent calibration with a good test kit is strongly recommended! Directions: First read the considerations for use section below. This is a professional strength product. Exercise care! If in doubt, use less, then measure pH. Consult an authoritative guide for the proper pH for the type of fish you are keeping. Add one teaspoon (1 capful or 5ml) per 10 gallons (40 liters) of tap or tank water to lower pH. Several additions will be required to overcome highly alkaline waters and pH rebound will be experienced. PH stabilization takes 24 hours. If pH is still too high, repeat process, increasing dosage, if necessary. Each addition will reduce alkalinity until pH becomes manageable. Considerations for use: FRESHWATER AQUARIUMS: If you are using Reverse Osmosis water or if your tap water is very soft (low total or general hardness, i.e. GH), use Kent R/O Right first to increase total dissolved solids to the proper value. Measure the total alkalinity (buffering capacity or KH) of your water with an alkalinity test kit. (Warning: use of this product on soft waters of low alkalinity may cause a pH crash and kill your fish!) If the alkalinity is low (see chart below), add Kent pH STABLE to raise it to the proper level. If the alkalinity is high, use Kent TRUE pH MINUS, this product, as directed, to slowly bring it down. Next measure the pH. If it continues to be high, repeat addition of this product, very slowly. If large quantities of this product are required (due to excessive alkalinity indicated by excessive pH rebound), it may be more economical to use our dry form, pH CONTROL MINUS, instead of this product. Make pH changes gradually, never change pH more than .2 pH per day! The best method is to make alkalinity and pH changes outside the aquarium, then do a water change. This is always less stressful to the fish. Contents: buffered acid hydrogen sulfates. Precautions: Contains buffered sulfuric acid. Do not breathe fumes. Corrosive and irritating! Harmful if swallowed! Keep out of reach of children! First Aid: If swallowed: rinse mouth, give water or milk. Do not induce vomiting.
