Most of the standard kits have a KH test. It's of of the cheapest tests to do. It's better to monitor the KH than pH. If the KH is at reasonable levels that the pH can neven be too low.

It is important to control the KH. that of the water of the pond and that of the water of the service company. Mine friends correct a low ph with sodium bicarbonate or soda caústica, very It disperses in great quantity of water, and administered little by little in 1 day. If the ph is too high, they use clorÃÂdric acid of the same way. The cloridric acid is the base of the commercial products.
But before it is necessary to test the appropriate dose, because if the ph rises or gets off more 1/2 unit in one day the kois runs risk.
It is necessary to have special precaution care is necessary to guard if the kh is low, and it is suitable to treat the water with specific products, as for example Izeki's stones. Also in order that the ph does not go down too much it is necessary to take care that the accumulated dirt or tds in the water it is not excessive.
