Ph Water Levels

[gosu-pk]

I bought a pH testing kit, and after buying it I realized that there was no paper inside with the pH levels..
I did the test ( Added 3 drops of pH Indicator into the tube with water ) and the results came to be blue water

What iam asking is, will any of you help me by telling me what my pH is at right now? ( Decimal wise ) - I need to know because african cichlids will be added inside, and I heard african cichlids need around 7.5 pH


Heres a picture of the pH Water:

Thank you
any help is appreciated

At a guess 7.2 although could be 7.8. Difficult as it may not be a true likeness when it comes up on my screen. Go back where you got the testkit and tell them there was no card.

I agree with cheffi and while your there find some crushed coral and add it to your tank, (after rinsing it of course) it will buffer your ph bunches!!

Looks like a 7.6 to me.

I use API thats the highest on my low end ph

Need to put my glasses on Kiwi is right last reading is 7.6 not 7.8. However if it is 7.6 you probably need to do the higher ph reading as it may even be higher.

There's a free PH chart online here.

That chart looks quite different (at least on my monitor) than the Tetra kit I have. My guess is 7.6 to 7.8.

What brand of kit do you have? Some only read up to certain level. I have a low-range Hagen kit that only reads up to 7.6

edit: On a second look, your test tube looks like Aquarium Pharmaceuticals which is the same as the link kowgirl kate posted.
