NILPA pH+ dose

How much pH+ to add to the tank — per NILPA instructions (2.5 mL / 10 L for +0.2–0.3 pH).

For comparable readings over time and with this calculator, keep conditions consistent:

pH — test at the same time of day; values differ before and after CO₂ injection.

Compare readings taken at the same time of day under similar conditions (CO₂, feeding).

+0,3 pH · Expected effect of one dose per instructions: ≈0.2–0.3 pH

мл pH+ = V·(pH_goal − pH_now)

NILPA: 2.5 mL / 10 L raises pH by 0.2–0.3 units (nominal step 0.25). No more than 0.5 pH per 12 h. pH+ instructions
