Testing Water for Ammonia

Quick demonstration on how to test for Ammonia using API Ammonia Test Kit.

Thank you!!!! I didn’t know if I was using my right and u realllly helped me thanks!

Just be aware that Coppersafe will totally give you a “false positive” of an ammonia reading with the API Ammonia test kit! I ran several tests with tank water and distilled water. After contacting both Mardel and API this was a solid conclusion. Seems the only viable way to test for ammonia after you have dosed with Coppersafe is the Seachem Ammonia Badge.

what temperature do you keep your crystal reds at, using chiller?

bang kalau air kolamnya dikasih 2, 5 ml lalu reagennya masing2 4 tetes bakal sama atau berbeda bang hasilnya?
langkah ini agar menekan cost monitoring air hehehe

You use a pipette, I use a syringe, so much better than dipping that vial into the water isn't it. Great tank! Love the shrimp.

Chlorinated വെള്ളം മത്സ്യ കൃഷിക്കു പറ്റുമോ?

Can you use a smaller ratio when testing to save stretch out the kit. Instead of 8 drops of each in 5 ml, like 2 drops of each in 1.25ml?

How useful would it be to use ammonia test strips for people?

[drivingschool]

Thanks for the movie, but 2 issues are missing:
# The water samples MUST be taken from filters's outlet.
From the amonia levels we can conclude the filter is " bio-working" yes or no.

The other issue:

# Compare two tests
from the filters's outlet and from tap water to compare. Technically speaking, tap water is zero amonia so this sample is the benchmark.

Thanks

Don't the instructions say to wear gloves because the chemicals can burn? I have had it soon on me, but it didn't hurt, it just smelt weird and I washed it off. I'm worried I should be using gloves.

why do a water change for ammonia a 2ppm if you are cycling the tan?
where is the advantage?

Sir how much is ammonia good level in fish pond ????

[diegosandovalmiamifl]

Thanks for all your videos. Question my tap water has almost .50 ppm amonia chloramine, my tank is reducing but not all of it. And prime works for like 24 hrs. RO water is not an option for me. I was trying to set up a cichlid tank but ratio of amonia and ph, would be worst for higher ph fish like cichlids i think. My current tank is planted tank some fish died (3) and I was doing alot of water changes but my problem was my tap water. Thanks for your feedback.
