JBL TEST NH4 Ammonium
The process of decomposition and mineralization of all organic substances in the aquarium and pond goes through the stages: proteins > ammonium > nitrite > nitrate. The measurement of the different stages allows you to monitor the functioning of the aquarium/pond system. If the ammonium or nitrite content is too high, this can cause a disturbance in bacterial metabolism. As a rule, ammonium is not measurable in a well-kept aquarium with an effective biological filter or in a well-kept garden pond. Ammonium is an important nutrient for plants and normally not poisonous to fish. However, depending on the pH, ammonia can be formed from ammonium, which is poisonous to fish.
Recommended ammonium values:
Freshwater aquariums (community aquariums): < 0.25 mg/l
Aquariums Tanganyika-Malawi: < 0.25 mg/l
Aquariums with many plants and few fish (aquascaping): < 0.25 mg/l
Marine aquariums: 0-0.25 mg/l
Ponds: < 0.1 mg/l
Easy and safe control of ammonium (NH4) and ammonia (NH3) in aquariums/ponds. Examination of biological balance (bacterial activity) in fresh and marine water
Laboratory system for compensating the natural color of water. Fill the test tubes with the water to be tested, add the reagent to one of them, place both test tubes in the test tube holder, read the values on the colorimetric paper
Use: in new fresh water setups 1 time/day. In the new setups sea water 1 time/week. In case of disease or fish deaths.
On the JBL website in the Aquarium or Pond thematic area you will find extensive information on water analysis and troubleshooting
