NT Labs Ammonia Test Kit – 40 Tests for Aquariums and Ponds
The NT Labs Ammonia Test Kit is an essential tool for all aquarium and pond enthusiasts. Ammonia, a toxic byproduct of fish waste and decaying organic matter, is invisible to the naked eye. Maintaining zero ammonia levels is critical for the health and well-being of your fish.
Why Ammonia Testing is Important
Ammonia is the main waste product produced by fish as a result of feeding. It can also form from:
- Uneaten food
- Decaying plants or leaves
- Accumulated organic matter in water
High ammonia levels are extremely toxic to fish, and early detection can prevent illness and death. Beneficial bacteria in filters convert ammonia into less harmful nitrites, but consistent monitoring is essential.

How to Use the Ammonia Test Kit
- Ensure the test tube is clean.

- Add 5 drops of Ammonia Reagent 1, 5 drops of Reagent 2, and 5 drops of Reagent 3.
- Replace the test tube cap and shake thoroughly.
- Wait 10 minutes, then compare the sample color with the provided color scale. Yellow represents zero ammonia; any green tint indicates ammonia presence.
Recommended Actions for Different Ammonia Levels
- 0 mg/l: Ideal – maintain zero ammonia at all times
- 0.2 mg/l: Add a filter booster like Filter Starter
- 0.5 – 1.0 mg/l: Change 25% of the water
