About
A liquid drop kit from API that measures general hardness (GH) and carbonate hardness (KH) in freshwater. GH is the calcium and magnesium in the water, which animals and plants use to grow. KH is the carbonate and bicarbonate that buffers pH against swings.

Specs
Measures: GH and KH
Method: Liquid titration
Water: Freshwater
Includes: reagents for both tests and a color chart

Using It
Take a water sample, add the reagent for each test, then read the result against the chart. Results take a few minutes. Neocaridina do well with GH around 6 to 8 and KH around 2 to 5.
