The pH (power of Hydrogen) level in a saltwater aquarium is a constant concern to most aquarists. Whereas the occupants in a FO (Fish Only) tank can tolerate a fairly wide range of pH levels for periods of time with no major harm, the occupants of a reef tank rely heavily on a constant pH level in the right range to just survive, let alone thrive.Testing Your Aquarium Water
Taking the time to test your saltwater aquarium water whether it is a fish-only or reef tank system is a very important part of maintenance, as it gives you an analysis of the condition or quality of the environment your marine inhabitants are living in.More pH & Alkalinity Resources
