Fauna Marin AquaHome Test KH

Maintaining stable alkalinity is one of the most important parts of keeping a healthy reef aquarium, and the Fauna Marin AquaHome Test KH makes the process simple and highly accurate. It is designed specifically for marine aquariums, this test hEli’s hobbyists to measure carbonate hardness (KH) and monitor the stability of their reef system.

Alkalinity plays a major role in maintaining stable pH levels and supporting healthy coral growth. Regular testing can help prevent sudden fluctuations that may stress fish, corals, and other invertebrates. The AquaHome Test KH provides accurate measurements with an easy-to-read colour change from turquoise blue to pink.

Features

  • Designed specifically for saltwater aquariums

  • Measures alkalinity (KH) from 0.1–20 dKH

  • High level of accuracy with readings down to 0.1 dKH

  • Approximately 50–100 tests per kit

  • Easy-to-read colour transition

  • Includes testing vials, syringes, reagents, and instructions

  • Refill kits are available separately

How to Use

  1. Rinse the glass vial using aquarium water.

  2. Fill the vial with the required amount of aquarium water.

  3. Add the first reagent according to the instructions.

  4. Slowly add the second reagent while gently swirling the vial.

  5. Continue until the solution changes from turquoise blue to pink.

  6. Record the result and compare it with the included reference chart.

Recommended Range

  • Natural seawater: approximately 6.5 dKH

  • Reef aquariums: 6–9 dKH

  • Test regularly to maintain stability and support healthy coral growth.

Why we love it

The Fauna Marin AquaHome Test KH uses an accurate testing process, allowing you  to quickly monitor one of the parameters in a reef aquarium. Whether you're keeping soft corals, LPS, SPS, or a mixed reef, maintaining stable alkalinity is essential for long-term success.

LIGHT

LOW: Place coral at the bottom of the tank. Depending on the type, coral may need to be placed off sand and therefore mounted on a ceramic disc of piece of rock.

MEDIUM: Place coral at mid-range of the tank. Best placed/glued on top of a rock scape at mid-range height. 

HIGH: Place coral from mid range to just below water level. SPS coral are shallow growing so they require and are able to tolerate intense light.

FLOW

LOW: Most soft coral do well with a small, gentle pulse. There are certain corals that can even be placed in areas of indirect flow, meaning places aside a rock structure or set into a entrance to a cave style space.

MEDIUM: Many LPS types of coral prefer medium pulse current. Most Euphyllia or corals that have more tissue structure connected to their skeleton, don’t like to be in a high flow area like the direct flow of the wave pump.

HIGH: Similar to high light, SPS enjoy being in some heavy current. Most LPS and SPS that branch encrust or plate prefer high flow that simulates the top water waves.

SKILL

ENTRY: While some may say beginner level, "Entry" is a good term to be used when starting out in the world of corals and marine life. Prior to adding livestock, you want to ensure that your reef has the proper parameters including zero levels of ammonia and nitrite. Seeing traces of nitrate in your waters is a good sign - just keep them at a lower level of 2ppm to 10ppm. Maintaining correct temperature and salinity are a huge factor to stable parameters. Starting to monitor your PH, alkalinity, calcium and magnesium is a great habit to get into to keep a successful reef.

While some soft coral don’t require too much light, having a proper reef light that puts out the proper pars is very important. You'll also want to have a good amount of flow and protected rock areas, as placing corals in their happy spot is ideal for success.
