Red Sea Saltwater Mini Lab Ammonia 45 Test
$16.78
Description
:
As fish digest their food, and as bacteria break down uneaten fish food and other organic matter, Ammonia is set free into the aquarium water.In solution the total dissolved Ammonia changes between 2 forms, the toxic Ammonia (NH3) and less harmful Ammonium ions (NH4+ ) according to the pH and temperature of the water. The Red Sea Mini-Lab Ammonia test measures the concentration of total Ammonia present. In any aquarium the majority of the total Ammonia will be in the form of less harmful Ammonium ions (NH4+). A percentage of the Ammonium ions (NH4+ ) change as the pH increases, to the more toxic Ammonia (NH3). Consequently, in marine aquariums with pH 8.1-8.4, Ammonia will present a more serious problem than in freshwater tanks with pH around 7, since more toxic Ammonia will be formed. Concentrations of toxic Ammonia as low as 0.01 ppm already show negative effects on fish, while 0.1 ppm can be deadly to some species.
