How to Test Ammonia Levels in Your Aquarium

Stacy is here to show you how to test your ammonia levels using the API Ammonia test kit

I recommend everyone to get pipettes from their local craft store or Amazon. You won't want to be dunking the test tube directly into your tank especially if you've used the tube before. You don't want the ammonia testing chemicals finding their way into your tank! Yikes. It'll also helps you ensure you get perfectly to the 5ml mark so that way you get the most accurate ammonia reading as possible.

bro, if you give 2.5 ml of pool water then the reagent is 4 drops each, will the results be the same or different?
This step is to reduce the cost of monitoring water hehehe
