NT Labs Ammonia Test Kit Your Key to Maintaining a Healthy Aquatic Environment
Understanding Ammonia: Fish waste, uneaten food, and decaying organic matter contribute to the production of ammonia, the primary waste product in aquariums. While invisible to the naked eye, ammonia poses a significant threat to fish health. Fortunately, beneficial bacteria in the filter break down ammonia into less toxic nitrite, ensuring a safer environment for your aquatic companions.
Correct Ammonia Level: Zero tolerance for ammonia is crucial. Maintain a level of zero mg/l (ppm) at all times to safeguard the well-being of your fish.
What to Do if Ammonia Levels Are Wrong:
If the level is 0.2 mg/l (ppm), add a filter booster like Filter Bugs.
For levels above 0.2 mg/l (ppm), conduct a substantial water change. Change 25% of the volume for 0.5 1.0 mg/l (ppm) ammonia and 50% for higher levels. Introduce Zeolite to the filter compartment to remove ammonia.
In case of any ammonia detection, check other critical water quality parameters such as pH, KH, and nitrite.
How to Use:
Ensure the test tube is clean.
Collect a 5 ml water sample into the test tube.
Add 5 drops of Ammonia 1, 5 drops of Ammonia 2, and 5 drops of Ammonia 3.
Replace the test tube cap, shake thoroughly, and wait for 10 minutes.
Compare the color of the sample to the provided color scale. A yellow color indicates zero ammonia, while any hint of green signals the presence of ammonia in the water.
Additional Information:
The test kit reports concentration in terms of nitrogen (NH3-N) for compatibility with reported safe concentrations applicable to fish and plants.
If interested in the ionic concentration, multiply the result by 1.21 (NH3-N).
Trust NT Labs Ammonia Test Kit to accurately assess ammonia levels, empowering you to maintain a pristine and healthy aquatic environment for your beloved fish. Keep your water quality in check and ensure the well-being of your aquatic companions with NT Labs.
