What pH does sea salt have?

Answer 1

The pH of salt water is of concern to two kinds of people. Seamen loading cargo onto a ship take an interest in the pH level, since the higher the pH level, the saltier the water and the saltier the water, the higher the ship rides in the water and the more heavily it can be loaded. Salt water aquarium owners are also interested, since the pH levels in the salt water aquarium have a direct effect on the health of the aquarium's ecosystem.

Answer 2

When considering pH, rather than having a goal of a specific reading, you should have a goal of stability.

Although 7.0 may be the optimal pH level for a given fish, the same fish will likely thrive at a constant level anywhere between 6.6 and 7.4. It may even survive at constant levels between 6.2 and 7.8. It is the drastic swings which can occur in pH that we try to prevent.

You should be to establish a very consistent pH level, even if that level is slightly outside the "ideal" pH reading for a given species. In other words, a constant pH of 6.6 is better than a pH value which fluctuates between 6.6 and 7.0, even for a fish which prefers a 7.0 reading.

Answer 3

Freshwater Fish like the p.h between 5.5 and 7.5, depending on the species.

Answer 4

There is no one single pH requirement for keeping tropical fish. Each species has its own specific requirements for water pH, Hardness and Temperature.

Answer 5

There is no standard level. You have to measure it to find out. It usually falls between 6 and 8.

Answer 6

The pH value of a pure sodium chloride solution is near 7,00.

Answer 7

It's suposed to be about 8.0-8.3

Answer 8
