Colombo Aquatest Amminia NH3 Test Kit
Ammonia (NH3) is excreted by fish directly into the water, and is also released from the breakdown of solid waste and uneaten food. Ammonia is highly toxic to fish, but is usually removed from the water by the bacteria which live inside the filter.
The only way to know what the ammonia level is and therefore know how your filtration system is performing is by testing the water with an Ammonia test kit.
Regular testing, especially in new ponds, will prevent damage caused by ammonia poisoning which is highly toxic to fish and is probably the biggest killer of fish in ponds around the world.
Please note that testing with the ammonia test kit should be done in conjunction with testing the pH as higher levels of pH make the ammonia more toxic to the fish, compounding the problem.
Colombo Aquatest Ammonia (NH3) Pond Test Kit contains 40 tests.
