Product:Ammonia is the number one stressor and killer of tropical fish. Ammonia is released into an aquarium in the forms of uneaten food, decaying organic matter, and when fish release it through their gills, urine, and solid waste. Under normal conditions, ammonia is a colorless, pungent gas that is highly toxic. Ammonia is highly toxic to fish and is usually removed from the water by oxidation by  the beneficial bacteria which live inside the filter.SALIFERT Ammonia (NH3) Profi Test for the freshwater aquarium, provides fast and accurate results when used to test your water parameters. Instructions: Add 2ml of aquarium water in to the test vial. Add 1ml of NH3 reagent and swirl gently for 10 seconds. Allow to stand for 2 minutes. Place the vial against the color chart to obtain a reading. Freshwater Aquariums should have a total ammonia value of less than 0.25/L. Note: Keep out of the reach of children! Only for aquarium hobby use.The use of protective gloves and eye protection is recommended. Please read the instructions carefully before using the product.  Salifert: Salifert is a Netherlands base company that produces top of the line test kits as well as tank additives and foods for marine and reef aquariums.

Product:Nitrites are the most common killers of aquarium fish so they are the compounds to guard against in the nitrogen cycle. Nitrites occur in the aquarium through the partial oxidation of ammonium ions. Nitrite-loving bacteria then convert the nitriteinto nitrate (step 3), thereby rendering it mostly harmless. The simplest first step in preventing nitrite build-up is to feed sparingly, making sure there are not too many animals in the tank.  Secondly, carry out partial water changes regularly (not exceeding 20% of the total volume) with well-aged water, not tap water. Third, make sure there are not too many total living animals in the aquarium. Many who are new to the aquarium hobby forget that even though catfish, algae eaters, and snails are “cleaner fish,” each still produces waste and adds to the total nitrite. Instructions: Add 2ml of aquarium water into the test vial. Add 1 level spoon of NO2 Powder and swirl gently for 30 seconds. Allow it to stand for 3 minutes. Place the test vial against the color chart to obtain reading. For freshwater aquarium, a value of not higher than 0.1 mg/L is advised. Note: Keep out of the reach of children! Only for aquarium hobby use.The use of protective gloves and eye protection is recommended. Please read the instructions carefully before using the product.  Salifert: Salifert is a Netherlands base company that produces top of the line test kits as well as tank additives and foods for marine and reef aquariums.

Product: The major difference between chloramine against chlorine is that chloramine is less volatile. It stays in the water longer and is less reactive with organic matter. Chloramine is a chemical used to disinfect water. It is ammonia (NH3) bonded to chlorine. It resists breaking down and is used because of its stability in water. Many commercial chlorine removers can be used to remove the chlorine, but when used alone, ammonia is left over. Adding chlorine and chloramines to our drinking water is very important to keep people healthy. But the same chemicals which keep us safe can be very toxic to fish. Adding tap water with chlorine or chloramine to a tank can quickly kill off fish.It can also kill off the nitrifying bacteria that keep your tank stable and healthy.The simplest and most effective way to remove chlorine and chloramines from your water is using chemical dechlorinators. If your water is treated with chloramine. The dechlorinator reacts with the chlorine portion of the chloramine. The chlorine is eliminated, leaving the ammonia free in the water.Ammonia is toxic to fish, even at low levels. So, if you use a simple dechlorinator that only contains sodium thiosulfate, you are solving one problem (chlorine) and creating a new problem (ammonia).    Instructions: Add 2ml of aquarium water in to the test vial. Add 4 drops of the CHL reagent and swirl gently for 10 seconds. Allow to stand for 1 minute. Place the vial against the colour chart to obtain a reading. Note: Keep out of the reach of children! Only for aquarium hobby use.The use of protective gloves and eye protection is recommended.
