Question 1

Mine did not come with a scoop or a seal. Should I be concerned about the lack of seal? If not, how much does the scoop hold?

Accepted Answer

Mine came without a seal too.  I stuck an unused chop stick in the container and found the scoop was in there at least.  So I dumped some out on a paper plate and retrieved the scoop.  Next time I buy this I will open it at the pet store to make sure there is a seal though!!

Question 2

Can i use this with all kinds fresh water fish

Accepted Answer

No. Use this only with fish that should have a ph of 7.5. You can kill fish if that is not an appropriate ph for your fish.

Question 3

How much would I use for a 1.5 gallon beta tank?

Accepted Answer

Honestly, I would use an altogether different product as opposed to this one for a 1.5 gallon aquarium.  Ideally, use a liquid based product, as it will integrate with the water chemistry a bit better.  That being said, if this product is the only option you have available at present, I would dissolve a small portion (a quarter of a teaspoon, if not less) of the product in a container with some of the water from the aquarium in question.  Once the product has dissolved completely, add it to the aquarium and wait a couple of hours before conducting a pH test.  Also remember not to try and "chase" the pH,-(or attempt to make it "perfect" as multiple changes to the water chemistry over time will have seriously detrimental effects on your aquarium's inhabitants.  Hope this helps.  Good luck.

Question 4

Why can it not be with live plants

Accepted Answer

API PROPER pH 6.5, 7.0, and 7.5 bind to some trace elements which are needed as nutrients by live plants. Therefore, we do not recommend using these API PROPER pH powders with live aquarium plants.
