Sera Aqua NH4/NH3 Test Kit (+Cu)
Ammonium and ammonia mainly arise from fish waste. They are converted into each other depending on the pH value. While ammonium is mostly harmless, ammonia is toxic to fish.
The Sera NH4/NH3-Test allows monitoring the total concentration of both (the actual ammonia level can be calculated according to the pH value using the included chart).
| Component | Function |
|---|---|
| NH4/NH3 Test Strip | Measures total ammonium and ammonia concentration |
| Instruction Chart | Provides conversion from total concentration to actual ammonia level based on pH |
FAQ
Can this test kit measure the exact ammonia level in the water?
The test kit measures the total concentration of ammonium and ammonia. The actual ammonia level can be calculated using the pH value and the included chart.
Is the test strip sensitive to pH changes?
Yes, the result interpretation depends on the pH value, which must be measured separately and used with the provided chart to determine the actual ammonia concentration.
How often should I use this test kit?
It is recommended to test water quality weekly or after adding new fish or during water changes to monitor ammonia levels effectively.

The test kit is easy to use and gives clear results. I used it after adding new fish and noticed a spike in ammonia. The chart helped me calculate the actual ammonia level based on pH. Very reliable for daily monitoring.

I found the instructions clear and the test strip consistent. It’s helpful to know the total concentration, and the pH chart makes it easy to interpret the actual ammonia level. Slight delay in reading the color change, but otherwise accurate.

This kit has been essential for maintaining a healthy tank. I use it every week and can detect ammonia spikes early. The included chart is very useful for adjusting water parameters.
