Neutralization Reactions

Keeping the pH neutral is very important for tropical fish enthusiasts. If the pH is too low, meaning the ammonia concentration is too high, you need to change the water in the tank or add buffers to raise the pH. If your pH is too high, you will need to add a concentrated acid solution to lower the pH. Fixing a fish tank requires a neutralization reaction. Without a quick solution to your pH problems, the water in your tank can become toxic.
