Combi Water Profile + Bacteriology (aerobic)

500 ml water (cooled, if possible) + swab with medium (e.g. gills, wounds), tissue

pH, total hardness (fresh water), conductivity (salt water), carbonate hardness
nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, copper, ammonium
bacteriology (aerobic)

2 - 7 days

• Please indicate whether the sample is freshwater or saltwater.
• Determination of the essential chemical water parameters of an aquarium/pond.
• For clarification of intoxications, differential diagnosis if infectious fish diseases are suspected or for setting ideal husbandry/breeding conditions.
• Assessment of the acid-base balance (e.g. pH, carbonate hardness), the organic load of the water (e.g. ammonium, nitrite, nitrate) and the purification capacity of the filter.
• Determination of phosphate and copper is indicated in case of algae problems or suspected copper intoxication, especially in invertebrates.
