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.
