Why can protein wool balance the pH of water?
pH imbalance can disrupt the physiological functions of fish
Protein wool absorbs acidic substances through ion exchange, stabilizing pH and preventing fluctuations in water quality
Protein wool is a type of anion exchange resin that is weakly alkaline, dissociating into weakly alkaline hydroxide ions (OH¯) in water. When aquarium water flows through the protein wool, it absorbs acidic ions in the water and releases an equivalent amount of weakly alkaline hydroxide ions into the liquid, thus achieving equilibrium
