Description

The Essential Guide to pH Testing for Aquariums

Why pH Testing Matters:
Maintaining proper pH levels is one of the most crucial aspects of aquarium care. pH affects fish health, biological filtration, and overall water quality.

Testing Frequency:

  • New Aquariums: Test daily during the critical cycling phase

  • Established Tanks: Test weekly to monitor stability

Simple 5-Step Testing Process:

  1. Fill the test vial to near the top with aquarium water

  2. Add precisely one pump of testing solution

  3. Wait 30 seconds for color development

  4. Compare to the color chart for accurate reading

  5. Prime the pump by dispensing one test into the sink before first use

Pro Tip: Always test at the same time of day, as pH naturally fluctuates slightly with lighting and plant activity.

Remember: Sudden pH changes can stress aquatic life. If levels are unstable, test more frequently and address the underlying cause.

    Live Arrival & Ordering FAQ

    Do you offer a live arrival guarantee?

    Yes. All livestock is covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee.

    In the rare event of DOA, please contact us promptly with clear photos of the livestock in the original unopened bag.

    Please review our full DOA and store policies before purchase.

    Can you ship to all states in Australia?

    No. Due to state restrictions, we cannot ship livestock or live plants to WA and TAS.

    What should I check before ordering?

    Before placing an order, make sure:

    • Your tank is fully cycled and stable
    • Your aquarium has enough space for the species
    • Your current livestock are compatible in temperament, size, and requirements
    • Your water parameters, habitat, and temperature suit the species
    • You are not adding too many fish at once
    What should I expect when my fish arrives?

    It is normal for fish, shrimp, or snails to look pale, stressed, or less active after shipping.

    This is temporary. Most livestock will settle and regain colour within a few days.

    How long does it take for fish to settle in?

    Most livestock will take 3–7 days to fully adjust to their new environment.

    Should I feed my fish immediately after arrival?

    No. We recommend waiting 24 hours before feeding to allow them to settle.

    If you already have fish in your tank, feeding them before introducing new arrivals can help reduce stress.

    Why do fish sometimes struggle after being added to a tank?

    In most cases, issues are caused by tank conditions, not shipping.

    • Uncycled or unstable tanks
    • Poor water parameters
    • Overstocking
    • Unsuitable tank mates
    What is Nano Tanks Australia’s main tip for new livestock?

    Most livestock losses happen in immature or unstable tanks, not during shipping.

    If your setup is not fully established, the risk to new arrivals is significantly higher.

    Not sure if this fish is right for your setup?

    If you are unsure whether this species suits your setup, contact us before ordering and we’ll help point you in the right direction.
