The API Ammonia Test Kit provides fast, accurate readings of toxic ammonia from 0–8 ppm, helping prevent invisible water problems that stress or kill fish. Ammonia enters the aquarium from fish waste, uneaten food, and decaying organic matter, making regular testing essential for both new and established freshwater or saltwater tanks. By measuring the ammonia level, this kit gives an indication of the efficiency of the biological filter, which helps eliminate ammonia from the aquarium.
