Please ensure that only those pH values are set which do not harm fi sh. For example,
if the CH is high, no pH value under 7.00 should be set. If you wish to set a pH value
under 7.00, the CH must be reduced accordingly.
Tip: If you activate the auto pH (see Item 9.3), the device automatically takes
over the setting of an optimum pH value which is appropriate for the CH of
your aquarium and ensures luxuriant plant growth without endangering the
fi sh. The corresponding values are given as pH curve in the table above.
