Even if the water looks clear it can be contaminated. With bad values diseases or algae can appear in the aquarium. To maintain a healthy aquarium with conditions close to nature it is important to check and adapt the water values regularly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor each water analysis JBL provides water tests in the form of rapid tests or colour change tests. These determine a certain value or several values in one go. With these water tests you can recognise algae problems and negative nitrate, nitrite, potassium, magnesium values etc.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhy test?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlong with calcium, magnesium creates the general hardness. Magnesium is, like potassium, a macro-element, which is necessary for healthy and vigorous growth in plants. Tap water very often contains too low quantities of magnesium for aquatic plants, quickly causing deficiency symptoms. Even if you fertilise the aquarium water regularly, there may still be too low quantities of magnesium available and the plant growth will then stagnate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRecommended magnesium values:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFreshwater aquarium (community aquarium): 5-10 mg\/l\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLake Malawi\/Lake Tanganyika aquarium: 5-10 mg\/l\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlant aquarium with few fish (aquascaping): 5-10 mg\/l\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMarine water aquarium: this test is not suitable since the magnesium content in marine water lies at 1200-1600 mg\/l.
