Toxic ammonia test - freshwater
Monitor the total and toxic ammonia in your tank water, ensuring the health and well-being of your fish.
⚙️ About ammonia in the tank:
- It results from the decomposition of leftovers of food, fish excretions, remains of plants and dead fish.
- Much is excreted directly by fish, especially by gills.
- Nitrifying bacteria transform ammonia into Nitrito and then nitrate, but in closed tanks the natural balance may not occur.
- Ammonia monitoring is essential to avoid toxic levels and ensure proper functioning of the biological system.
⚠️ Impact of ammonia on fish:
- High levels cause stress, low resistance to disease, gill damage and fin.
- The toxic form of ammonia (NH3) increases with high pH and may cause poisoning and severe damage.
🧾 Mode of use:
- Fill the beaker to the brand with water from the tank.
- Drinking 8 drops of Reagent 1 solution, cover and shake.
- Drong 4 drops of Reagent 2 solution, cover and shake.
- Wait 3 minutes and compare the color with the color scale to determine the total ammonia content.
- Use the table to determine the content of toxic ammonia (NH3), important for risk assessment.
- Read preferably under natural light, positioning the beaker on the white circle for better comparison.
🛡️ Care and recommendations:
- NH3 below 0.02 ppm is safe; Above 0.04 ppm requires immediate action.
- Detect critical levels (above 0.04 ppm):
- Perform the background symphane and exchange part of the water.
- Check and, if necessary, correct the new water pH (should not be larger than the tank to avoid increasing NH3).
- Evaluate the filtering system and reduce feed temporarily.
- Look for professional support for specific guidelines.
🛠️ Prevention of high levels of ammonia:
- Do not exceed the recommended amount of fish.
- Avoid excess food to prevent leftovers.
- Keep the filtering system clean and functioning properly.
- Make partial shifts of water regularly.
