## Overview

API Ammonia Test Strips provide fast, accurate measurement of ammonia levels in both freshwater and saltwater aquariums. Each box contains 25 easy-to-use strips that deliver results in 30 seconds, helping aquarium managers prevent toxic buildup that harms fish health. Trusted for over 50 years, these strips empower proactive water quality monitoring to maintain a vibrant, stress-free aquatic environment.

## Description

Quickly and easily check your aquarium's ammonia levels with API AMMONIA TEST STRIPS. Fish continually release ammonia into the aquarium through their gills, urine and solid waste. Uneaten food and decaying organic matter also add ammonia to the water. Ammonia is toxic to fish and can cause gill damage, stress and death. Regular testing is recommended because ammonia levels can build quickly due to fish waste and uneaten food. Simply dip the test strip into the water, then compare the results with the precise, easy-to-read color-coded chart to determine if any action should be taken. The chart includes recommendations on how to treat the water and neutralize ammonia. Safe for use in fresh and salt water. With API Aquarium products, it’s easy to keep a beautiful saltwater, freshwater or reef aquarium. For over 50 years, API has been creating innovative, research-driven solutions that make it easier to care for your fish and aquarium. API Aquarium Treatment Supplies are designed to work in conjunction with each other to provide best results to control algae, promote healthy bacterial growth and help control and cure fish diseases and conditions such as ich and fin rot. They work to provide a safe, hospitable environment for fish such as tropical community fish, cichlids, goldfish and more. With API, you can spend more time admiring your fish, and less time scrubbing your tank. Make sure to use all products as directed in order to ensure the best results.

Review: Accurate pH tester for fish water - Really happy I purchased these ... after learning via PetSmart that our tap water was super low pH due to a shallow well which apparently killed our betta fish after 7 days. I got these to test our water with conditioner (yes, I was too lazy to take another sample to the store and I'm pretty sure they use these same strips). I also wanted to test our bottled spring water, which is what I use for our new fish (no added conditioner on my part). I learned with these sticks that our tap water, with or without added conditioner, is very low pH and our jug of spring water is perfect. Our fish is still alive (and very active) so I'm thinking these testers are very accurate. I may never need 20 of these but for $6 I'm glad I have them ... if we move, get a saltwater tank etc. Overview-you take a strip, swirl it twice in the water, don't shake off and wait 30 seconds (I found waiting a bit longer was more accurate). The color is a little off if you look 5 minutes later so don't wait too long). Done. Easy and accurate.
Review: simple efficient - use these as a third test check to make sure no nasty ammonia

In established aquariums, ammonia should be tested weekly to make sure it is at a safe level. This kit contains 25 test strips and reads 0-6 ppm (mg/L) of ammonia in fresh and saltwater. Just dip and read to measure ammonia in one easy step. |

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I use this for dirt?**
A: The Kit  does not test for calculus.

**Q: What range of ammonia concentration do the strips cover?**
A: As deadly as Amonia is to your fish, you would be better served using API Ammonia test drops. The strips are not nearly as accurate. Just buy the API Freshwater Master Test Kit.  In my experience the none of the test strips are not accurate as the drops.

**Q: Will this item test for cyanobacteria?**
A: No, the ph test kit will not test for cyanobacteria.

**Q: Do these measure total amonia (tan) or just free amonia?**
A: API Ammonia Test strips reads total ammonia.
