Tetra Water Test Kits enable you to monitor your pond's water. Pond water quality may cause fish to behave unnaturally, stunt growth, display poor coloration, and make them more susceptible to disease.
Plants may fail to grow or become discolored. Tetra Pond Test Kits allow the pond keeper to easily and accurately detect and correct water quality problems before they adversely affect your fish or plants.
Oxygen is vital for all organisms living in your pond. Fish, plants, and microorganisms all require oxygen for respiration. Low oxygen concentrations can cause fish to be increasingly susceptible to disease and cause biological filtration bacteria to work inefficiently.
The oxygen concentration in the water of your pond is dependent on a number of factors including; temperature (oxygen concentration decreases as temperature increases especially above 80°F), overstocking, heavy amounts of decaying organic matter, and poor circulation or surface films that interfere with natural gas exchange. Additionally, live plants which use carbon dioxide for photosynthesis during light hours change over to oxygen respiration at night and actually add to oxygen demand. |
