API Ammonia Test Kit – 130 Tests | NH₃/NH₄⁺ Monitoring for Aquatic Systems
Ammonia is the #1 killer of tropical fish and a critical parameter to monitor in any aquatic environment. The API Ammonia Test Kit uses a mercury-free, salicylate method to accurately measure total ammonia (NH₃ + NH₄⁺) in parts per million (ppm), equivalent to mg/L. Ideal for new tank cycling, pond startups, and aquaculture operations, this kit helps detect toxic ammonia buildup caused by uneaten food, waste, and decaying matter.
Key Features:
- Measures total ammonia (NH₃/NH₄⁺) from 0 to 8.0 ppm (mg/L)
- Includes: 2 liquid reagents, glass test tube with cap, 2 laminated color charts, and instructions
- Performs up to 130 tests
- Safe for freshwater aquariums, ponds, and aquaculture systems
- Essential for tank cycling, fish transport, and emergency ammonia control
Applications:
Recommended for hobbyists, breeders, and aquaculture professionals. Use during tank setup, after medication, or when fish show signs of stress. Pair with API Ammo Lock for ammonia detoxification.
