NT Labs Aquarium Ammonia NH3 Test Kit – 40 Tests
Ammonia is the primary waste product produced by fish through feeding. It can also form from the breakdown of uneaten food or decaying organic matter such as plant leaves. Ammonia is invisible to the naked eye and cannot be detected by visual inspection alone. It is highly toxic to fish and must be monitored regularly. Beneficial bacteria in the filter convert ammonia into less harmful nitrite.
For optimal fish health, ammonia levels should always be zero mg/l (ppm). This test kit enables accurate detection of ammonia in your aquarium water.
