Water Treatments to Control pH in Garden Ponds

A pH crash can kill every fish in your pond. Protect them simply by stabilizing it so the pH does not swing.

Adjustors
Bring it up or down with these adjustors. Just make sure to do it slowly so you won't shock the fish.

Stabilizer
The Alkalinity (stability) of the pH is probably the one most important factor in controlling the pH. Treat your pond with stabilizer about every 3 months or if you change out the water to insure against crashes.

Previously we were selling the 7.5 pH Buffer Stabilizer by Microbe-Lift -- We now have a less expensive stabilizer that treats more gallons!

pH Test Kits
Test your pond water at least once a month for established ponds and once a week for newer ones.

pH Drop Test Kit
$8.95
From Aquarium Pharmaceuticals -- test contains drops and glass test tube.
pH readings fluctuate during the day so pH testing should be done at several different times. Pond fish prefer a pH range of 6.8 to 8.0. Less than 6.8 means the water is too acidic / More than 8.0 means the water is too alkaline. A pH crash can kill every fish in the pond. Prevent fluctuations in pH by using a pH stabilizer.
