API Ammonia Test Kit

Taking a few minutes each week to maintain and monitor your aquarium's water conditions is the cornerstone of a healthy and thriving underwater world. The API Ammonia Test Kit empowers you to become an informed aquarist, enabling you to detect and address ammonia levels – a silent threat to your fish's health.

Understanding the Threat of Ammonia:

• Constant Ammonia Release: Tropical fish naturally release ammonia through their gills, urine, and solid waste. Uneaten food and decaying organic matter further contribute to ammonia buildup in your aquarium water.
• Stressful and Deadly: Even small amounts of ammonia can stress your fish, impacting their overall health. In severe cases, high ammonia levels can be fatal, making it the number one killer of tropical fish.
