Instructions:
- Use syringe to add 1 ml of water in the test vial.
- Add 6 drops of NH3-1 and swirl gently for 5 seconds.
- Add 6 drops of NH3-2. Swirl gently for 5 seconds and wait 5 minutes.
- Hold the test vial and look through the side of the test vial. Keep the color chart behind the test vial. Make sure that the white portion of the color chart is behind the test vial. The values on the color chart are in mg/L total ammonia (that is NH3 + NH4+).
General Information
Ammonia and ammonium should be rapidly converted by aerobic nitrification into nitrite and then nitrate and finally into nitrogen gas. If this does not happen, then either the aquarium is not fully matured or there is a problem with the tank's biological system. This can be caused by an excessive biological loading being placed on the system. |
| Tap Water Treatment | | Don't take the quality of your tap water for granted. If you draw your water from a well, nature may not be providing you the perfect balance. If you are using tap water from your municipal department, it likely includes minerals and additives. |
| | How to Use a Refractometer | | Serious hobbyists know that the best way to measure the salinity and specific gravity of aquarium water is to use a refractometer. These precision optical instruments are incredibly accurate even at very low salt levels, and are equally easy to use. |
| | Professional Testing on a Beginner's Budget | | Testing your water parameters is an important method of foreseeing problems in your aquatic ecosystem before they result in catastrophe. Luckily, tools that were once only accessible (and affordable) to advanced hobbyists have since become simpler. |
