🧪 Test for toxic ammonia - salt water | 50 Tests
Monitor accurately and protect your fish against invisible poisoning!
The toxic ammonia test of Brazil Piscis is indispensable for those who work with salt water. It allows precise analysis of the most dangerous form of ammonia (NH₃), which can seriously compromise fish health even in small concentrations.
🔬 Why monitor ammonia?
Ammonia accumulates in the system by:
- Fish excretions (mainly by gills)
- Ration remains
- Dead fish or vegetable remains
In tanks, the natural balance is broken. Therefore, ammonia monitoring is critical to avoiding serious problems such as:
- Stress and fall in immunity
- Damage to gills and fins
- Reduction of oxygen absorption
- Poisoning and Mortality
⚠️ Toxic ammonia: the hidden danger
Ammonia in water has two forms:
- NH₄⁺ (ionized) - Less toxic
- NH₃ (not ionized) - highly toxic
The higher the pH and water temperature, the greater the presence of the NH₃ shape.
Attention:
- Nh₃ <0.02 ppm = insurance
- NH₃> 0.04 ppm = danger! Take immediate measures
🧪 How to use the test
- Fill the beaker to the brand with the tank water.
- Drinking 8 drops of Reagent 1 solution, cover and shake.
- Drinking 4 drops of Reagent 2 solution, cover and shake again.
- After 3 minutes, compare the color with the scale supplied.
- Use the conversion table to obtain the exact value of the toxic ammonia (NH₃).
📌 Tip: Read under natural light and watch the sample on top, with the beaker supported by the white circle of the table.
🛡️ Preventive measures
- Do not overcome the tanks
- Avoid feeding
- Perform frequent maintenance of filters
- Make partial shifts of water regularly
- Adjust the pH of new water before adding to the system
