A reduction in ammonia may take about 4 hours to change from TOXIC to SAFE.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat do the sensor colours mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYellow or faint yellow-green indicates no free ammonia. Green and blue indicate increasing ammonia, with ALERT at about 0.05 mg\/L, ALARM at about 0.2 mg\/L and TOXIC at about 0.5 mg\/L free ammonia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow should I clean the Ammonia Alert sensor?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nRemove algae only with a clean, soft material. Do not touch the sensor with your fingers, and do not use bleach, soap, detergents or hard objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan aquarium medication affect the sensor?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSome dye medications may discolour the sensor. Red-enhancing aquarium lighting can also reduce the apparent green and blue colour response.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39279166488630,"sku":"000116001007","price":267.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0151\/9016\/3510\/products\/seachem-ammonia-alert-continuous-monitoring-device-freshwater-marine-aquarium.jpg?v=1743712348","url":"https:\/\/jungleaquatics.com\/products\/seachem-ammonia-alert","provider":"Jungle Aquatics Pet Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
