Why Test for Ammonia?

Low concentrations of ammonia can cause respiratory and skin irritation to fish, while greater concentrations can lead to damage and ultimately death. Toxic ammonia can build up in aquariums where there are insufficient nitrifying bacteria to process the waste from the fish. Testing is especially worthwhile in these situations:

• In new aquariums
• When new fish are added
• When the filter bacteria has been disrupted, for example during cleaning
• After accidental mis-dosing of aquarium medications

Suitable For

• Marine (saltwater) aquariums
