NT Labs Ammonia Test Kit, Aquarium Water Pond Testing Accurate Results, Contains 40 Freshwater Tests.

【 MONITORS AMMONIA IN AQUARIUM AND POND WATER】: Ammonia is the main waste product produced by fish as a result of feeding. It can also be generated by the decay of uneaten food or decaying organic matter, such as plant leaves. It is invisible to the naked eye and its presence or absence cannot be determined by looking at the water alone. It is extremely toxic to the fish but is broken down into less toxic nitrite by the beneficial bacteria found in the filter. 【 EASY TO USE】: Ensure the test tube is clean. Take a 5 ml sample of water into the test tube. Add 5 drops of the reagent Ammonia 1, 5 drops of Ammonia 2 and 5 drops of Ammonia 3. Replace the test tube cap and shake thoroughly. Wait 10 minutes, then compare the colour of the sample to the colour scale provided. Zero ammonia is represented by a yellow colour. Any hint of green in the sample indicates the presence of ammonia in the water. 【 HOW TO FIX AMMONIA ISSUES 】: There is no occasion where any ammonia is tolerable. A level of zero mg/l (ppm) should be maintained at all times. If a level of 0.2 mg/l (ppm) is found, add a filter booster such as NT Labs Aquarium Filter Starter, or NT Labs Pont Mature. If a level above this is found, then a substantial water change is essential. Change 25% of the volume for 0.5 – 1.0 mg/l (ppm) ammonia and 50% for ammonia levels above this. Add NT Labs Ammonia Remover to the filter to remove ammonia. If any amount of ammonia is found, then it is important to check other vital water quality parameters, in particular pH, KH and nitrite. 【 ACCURATE LIQUID DROP TESTS 】: All NT Labs water testing kits are liquid drop tests from a dropper bottle to ensure the drops are the same size. This method of testing is significantly more precise compared to using dip strips. The use of liquid reagents guarantees accurate and dependable results for each parameter, simplifying the process of monitoring and maintaining ideal water conditions in your aquarium. 【 SUITABLE FOR ALL AQUARISTS 】: The ease of use of NT Labs Test Kits means they are perfect for use by beginners and seasoned aquarists alike.
