JBL ProAquaTest NH4 Ammonium Refill
JBL ProAquaTest NH4 Ammonium Refill –
Quick test to determine ammonium/ammonia content in freshwater/marine water aquariums and in ponds.
The right water values are dependent on the fish stock and the plants in the aquarium/pond. Even if the water looks clear it can be contaminated. With bad values diseases or algae can then appear in the aquarium/pond.
Key Features:
- Simple and reliable monitoring of ammonium (NH4) and ammonia (NH3) in aquariums/ponds.
- Laboratory comparator system to compensate the inherent water colour. Fill glass vials with sample water, then add reagents to one vial. Place vials in holder, read values off colour chart and table
- Use: when setting up a new freshwater aquarium: once a day. Initial setup with marine water: once a week.
- For use in case of fish diseases or fish deaths.
Package contents: 1 quick test, ammonium test NH4 for approx. 50 measurements. Incl. 3 reagents, 2 glass vials with screw caps, syringe, comparator block and colour scale. Reagent refill separately available.
Why test?
The degradation or mineralisation process of all organic substances in the aquarium and pond follows these stages: proteins > ammonium > nitrite > nitrate.
By measuring these stages conclusions can then be drawn about the “functioning” of the systems aquarium and pond. If the ammonium or nitrite level is too high it can lead to disturbances of the bacterial balance.
Ammonium is not usually measurable in a well-kept aquarium with an effective biological filter or in a properly set up garden pond. Ammonium is an important plant nutrient and normally non-toxic for fish.
But depending on the pH value, ammonia, which is toxic for fish, can be formed from the ammonium ion.
