The high range pH test comes from the Saltwater Master Test Kit created by API MARINE

What the test is used for:

 A high range pH test is utilized to determine the pH of the show tank 
 The test may be used to measure the pH of other areas of the aquarium 

What affect pH has on the aquarium:

 The pH test determines acidity/basicity of the aquarium water
 Different pH levels are safe for varying types of biological life
  

Test Procedure:

 1) Fill a clean test tube with 5 ml of water to be tested
 2) Add 5 drops of High Range pH Test Solution
 3) Cap the test tube and invert tube multiple times to mix solution
 4) Determine the pH by comparing the color of the solution to the High Range pH Color Chart

Recommended pH:

 A pH of 7.5 is ideal for most live bearing fish (such as mollies and swordtails)  
 Goldfish will thrive at a pH of 7.5 as well
 Marine Fish and invertebrates require a pH between 8.2 - 8.4
