The Salifert Ammonia Test Kit (NH3/NH4) is a sensitive, easy-to-read test for marine aquariums. Use it while cycling a new tank, after adding livestock, or any time fish look stressed.
Why test ammonia?
Ammonia is produced by fish waste and decaying food and is highly toxic even in small amounts. In an established, cycled aquarium ammonia should read zero. A reading above zero means your biological filtration is overloaded or not yet mature.
Key features
- Approx. 50 tests per kit.
- Measures total ammonia (NH3 + NH4).
- Easy colour-chart results in minutes.
- Essential for cycling and new-livestock checks.
