Units: The scale ranges from 0 to 14, with no units; a pH of 7 is neutral, lower values are acidic and higher values are alkaline.

Target values: In freshwater systems, target pH may be between 5.5 and 7.5. In saltwater systems, target pH may be between 7.5 and 8.5 (Table A2.2). Some species have specific needs, e.g. African Rift Lake cichlids (Cichlidae) prefer high pH, while discus (Symphysodon spp.) and freshwater angelfish (Pterophyllum spp.) prefer low pH.
