water parameters

Water parameters refer to specific measurements that indicate the quality and conditions of water, especially in aquariums or natural bodies. Key parameters include pH (acidity or alkalinity), which affects fish health; ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates, which reflect waste levels and can be toxic if unchecked; temperature, influencing metabolic rates; and hardness, indicating mineral content. Maintaining appropriate levels ensures a healthy environment for aquatic life, preventing stress, disease, or death. Regular testing helps identify imbalances, allowing necessary adjustments to keep water safe and stable for your aquatic ecosystem.
