API Ammonia Test Kit – Essential Pond & Aquarium Water Testing
Ammonia is the #1 killer of pond fish. Ensure your aquatic environment is safe and healthy with the API Ammonia Test Kit (LR8600). This professional-grade liquid test kit provides fast, accurate readings of ammonia levels, allowing you to catch spikes before they become lethal to your fish.
For ponds and aquariums: Tests for ammonia levels in water. Fish continually release ammonia through their gills, urine and solid waste. Uneaten food and decaying organic matter also add ammonia to the water. Even small amounts of ammonia stress fish, and large amounts will cause fish loss. Use this kit to easily and accurately measure the ammonia level in your water so that you can take the necessary steps to remove ammonia and keep your fish healthy.

Why Test for Ammonia?
Ammonia is constantly produced in ponds through fish waste, uneaten food, and decaying organic matter. Even low levels can cause gill damage, stress, and eventually death. Regular testing is the only way to ensure your biological filter is functioning correctly.
