(Ammonium test) PARA TEST

Introducing the PARA TEST brand Water Quality Testing Kit, a reliable and accurate solution for measuring water values in the shrimp industry. The kit includes a Total Alkalinity Test, specifically designed for testing both fresh and seawater.

The Aquacare 2000.3 PARA Alkalinity Test has a range of 0 - 200 ppm (mg/l) and includes 60 tests. Total Alkalinity measures the ability of water to react with acids and contains values of carbonate, bicarbonate, and hydroxide. It also indicates the water's ability to resist changes in pH, which is crucial for maintaining healthy water conditions for shrimp.

Low alkalinity can result in a low pH and drastic pH changes, leading to the death of plankton and stress on shrimp. Similarly, if the pH is low and alkalinity is low, shrimp growth and survival rates will be affected. On the other hand, if the pH is high and alkalinity is high, shrimp will not be able to molt.

The ideal pH range for shrimp farming is 7.7-7.9 in the morning and not more than 8.1-8.2 in the afternoon. The alkalinity should be in the range of 90-150 ppm, with a minimum of 50 ppm and a maximum of 100 ppm. In freshwater areas, the pH may be as high as 7.9-8.2 in the morning and should not exceed 8.5 in the afternoon. The alkalinity should be in the range of 70-100 ppm. This kit provides a convenient and accurate way to test and monitor the water quality in your shrimp industry operations.
