Price: 25.85 EUR
Availability: PreOrder

This kit measures the total ammonia (NH3/NH4).

For marine aquariums – any total ammonia reading of 0.25 ppm or higher indicates a toxic ammonia level of at least 0.01 ppm, which will have negative effects on fish. To calculate the exact amount of toxic ammonia in the water, use the following table to find the percentage of toxic ammonia in the total dissolved ammonia, based on the current temperature and pH of the water in the tank.

Ammonia Test – instructions for use

1. Using the supplied syringe, inject exactly 5 ml of water to be tested in the glass amp.

2. Add a leveled Ammonia Reagent A doser, close the amp with the cap and shake for 10 seconds.

3. Add 5 drops of Ammonia Reagent B, close the amp with the cap and shake for 10 seconds.

4. Add 5 drops of Ammonia Reagent C, close the amp with the cap and shake for 10 seconds.

5. Wait 15 minutes until the color stabilization in the amp.

6. Once the test is finished, move the amp to the designated positions on the colored paper, look in the amp from above and

compare the color with those of the paper. Choose the ammonia level that corresponds to the most similar color and if necessary estimate an intermediate value.

7. The color in the reaction amp will remain stable for 5 minutes. Do not consider the color in the amp spent this time lasso.

Example:

1. Total ammonia level of 1 ppm, pH of 8.4 and temperature of 26 degrees Celsius.

2. The table provides 14% of toxic ammonia (see area in grey of the table).

3. The toxic ammonia level is 14 % of 1 ppm = 0.14 ppm. This level is toxic to fish.
