J-QUANT Ammonia 6, 25 strips

J-QUANT Ammonia 6 test strips provide a fast and reliable method for measuring ammonia in both freshwater and saltwater, suitable for laboratory and field testing environments. The straightforward process delivers results safely within 60 seconds.

Ammonium and ammonia are by-products of the ammonification of animal and plant protein breakdown, caused by uneaten food, decaying organic matter, and excretion through fish gills, urine, and solid waste.

Ammonia is harmful to aquatic life in aquariums, so these test strips offer a quick and easy way to monitor ammonia levels. Ammonia is the primary stress factor and leading cause of death for tropical fish.

Regular testing of ammonia levels ensures good aquarium conditions and, consequently, better fish health.

Elevated ammonia levels in untreated surface water often indicate agricultural pollution.

This test measures ammonia levels from 0 to 6 ppm, with 0 ppm being ideal. A reading between 0.5 and 1.0 ppm indicates a stressed tank, while levels between 3.0 and 6.0 ppm are considered dangerous.

The test strip is designed specifically to detect gaseous ammonia and features a unique design that minimises interference from CN-, Fe, Mn, Ca, and other elements.

It is recommended to monitor ammonia levels in aquariums weekly to maintain an optimal environment for fish.
