NT Labs Ammonia Test Kit

NT Labs Ammonia Test Kit – Your Key to Maintaining a Healthy Aquatic Environment

Understanding Ammonia: Fish waste, uneaten food, and decaying organic matter contribute to the production of ammonia, the primary waste product in aquariums. While invisible to the naked eye, ammonia poses a significant threat to fish health. Fortunately, beneficial bacteria in the filter break down ammonia into less toxic nitrite, ensuring a safer environment for your aquatic companions.

Correct Ammonia Level: Zero tolerance for ammonia is crucial. Maintain a level of zero mg/l (ppm) at all times to safeguard the well-being of your fish.

What to Do if Ammonia Levels Are Wrong:

• If the level is 0.2 mg/l (ppm), add a filter booster like Filter Bugs.
• For levels above 0.2 mg/l (ppm), conduct a substantial water change. Change 25% of the volume for 0.5 – 1.0 mg/l (ppm) ammonia and 50% for higher levels. Introduce Zeolite to the filter compartment to remove ammonia.
• In case of any ammonia detection, check other critical water quality parameters such as pH, KH, and nitrite.

How to Use:

1. Ensure the test tube is clean.
2. Collect a 5 ml water sample into the test tube.
3. Add 5 drops of Ammonia 1, 5 drops of Ammonia 2, and 5 drops of Ammonia 3.
4. Replace the test tube cap, shake thoroughly, and wait for 10 minutes.
5. Compare the colour of the sample to the provided colour scale. A yellow colour indicates zero ammonia, while any hint of green signals the presence of ammonia in the water.

Additional Information:

• The test kit reports concentration in terms of nitrogen (NH3-N) for compatibility with reported safe concentrations applicable to fish and plants.
• If interested in the ionic concentration, multiply the result by 1.21 (NH3-N).

Trust NT Labs Ammonia Test Kit to accurately assess ammonia levels, empowering you to maintain a pristine and healthy aquatic environment for your beloved fish. Keep your water quality in check and ensure the well-being of your aquatic companions with NT Labs.

NT Labs Broad PH Test Kit

NT Labs Broad pH Test Kit – Precision for Your Pond’s pH Balance

Understanding pH: The NT Labs Broad Range pH Test Kit is specially designed for testing water within the pH range of 6 – 9, covering the pH spectrum commonly observed in ponds. With enhanced precision offering 0.5 unit determination, this test ensures accurate monitoring of your pond’s pH levels.

Correct pH Level: While there is no universally correct pH level, different fish species have their preferred pH ranges. Generally, the ideal pH value falls between 7 and 8, but it’s essential to consider the specific requirements of the fish you own. Always inquire about the preferred water conditions when purchasing fish from your local aquatic retailer.

What to Do if the pH Level is Off:

• If adjustments are necessary, make changes slowly to avoid shocking the fish. Limit pH adjustments to no more than 0.5 units every 2 days.
• Conduct substantial water changes if your tap water has a suitable pH to correct dangerous pH levels.
• Check the KH (carbonate hardness) of the pond. Use pH adjusters like KH – Buffer Up to raise pH caused by soft or aged water.
• For fish in soft, acid water, consider using bogwood to gently lower the pH and soften the water.

How to Use:

1. Ensure the test tube is clean.
2. Collect a 5ml water sample into the test tube.
3. Add 5 drops of the pH reagent, replace the test tube cap, and shake thoroughly.
4. Compare the colour of your sample to the provided colour scale for an accurate pH reading.

Maintain the optimal pH balance in your pond with the NT Labs Broad pH Test Kit. With improved precision and a broad testing range, this kit empowers you to create the perfect environment for your fish. Trust NT Labs for reliable water testing solutions, ensuring the health and happiness of your aquatic companions.
