- Ammonia is the number one killer of tropical fish in aquariums and ammonia levels must be carefully monitored and controlled
- Fast, easy and accurate, this API Liquid Ammonia 130 Test Kit measures ammonia levels from 0 to 7 ppm
- Fish continually release ammonia (NH3) directly into the aquarium/pond through their gills, urine, and solid waste. Uneaten food and other decaying organic matter also add ammonia to the water. The biological filter controls ammonia but, as with any natural process, imbalances can occur
- Ammonia may damage gill membranes, and prevent fish from carrying on normal respiration. High levels of ammonia quickly lead to fish death. Even trace amounts stress fish, suppressing their immune system and increasing the likelihood of disease
- Test either freshwater or salt water for ammonia using the easy to read colour card and take appropriate remedial action where necessary using API water treatments
What you need to know:
- 1 x API Liquid Ammonia 130 Test Kit
- Easy to read liquid ammonia test for freshwater and marine aquariums
- Water should be tested for ammonia every other day when the aquarium is first set up, and once a week after the biological filter has been established (in about 4 - 6 weeks)
