【 MONITORS AMMONIA LEVELS IN MARINE AQUARIUMS】: Most ammonia generated in an aquarium is the result of the digestion of proteins by fish and other aquarium animals. Ammonia can also be released by the bacterial breakdown of excess food and other organic matter. It is extremely toxic to fish and invertebrates, especially in a marine aquarium due to the higher pH found in saltwater. Ammonia is broken down into nitrite by the beneficial bacteria in your aquarium filter or live rock and then subsequently into relatively harmless nitrate. 【 EASY TO USE】: Use the 1 ml pipette provided to measure 1 ml of water to be tested into the test tube. Add 5 drops of Ammonia-1 reagent. Add 5 drops of Ammonia-2 reagent. Add 5 drops of Ammonia-3 reagent. Cap the test tube and shake well to mix. Wait for 10 minutes for the colour to develop. Once the 10 minutes has elapsed, view the test tube from the side and compare to the colour chart to determine the amount of ammonia present in the water. 【 HOW TO FIX AMMONIA ISSUES 】: Ammonia should be kept at 0 mg/l at all times. Any positive ammonia reading likely indicates a problem with the aquarium and should be addressed. If any ammonia is detected in your aquarium, use water changes to immediately dilute ammonia. Ensure that there is no uneaten food or decaying matter in the aquarium and use Live Filter Bacteria to help colonise the filter and restart the biological filtration. 【 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.
