The Aquarium Lab Mini-Test Kit measures three water parameters: pH, Nitrite and Ammonia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmmonia:\u003cbr\u003eWhat is ammonia?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmmonia is excreted by fish as a waste product. It is extremely toxic to fish, and is broken down into less toxic nitrite by the beneficial bacteria in the filter of your aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNitrite:\u003cbr\u003eWhat is nitrite?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNitrite is produced by the beneficial bacteria in the pond and filters as they break down harmful ammonia excreted by fish. Although not as toxic as ammonia, nitrite is still very damaging to the health of the fish. Nitrite itself is broken down into nitrate which is significantly less harmful to fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003epH:\u003cbr\u003eWhat is pH?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003epH is the measure of the acidity or alkalinity of the water in your aquarium. The pH scale runs from 0 to 14. Very acid water is pH 0 and very alkaline water is pH 14. Neutral water that is neither acid nor alkaline is pH 7.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I do the tests?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA full instruction leaflet is included in the pack which talks you through each parameter, what it should be, and what you should do if the readings are incorrect.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wirral Aquatics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52807340163400,"sku":null,"price":14.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0865\/1364\/7944\/files\/NTLabsAquariumLabMini-TestKit.webp?v=1776784616","url":"https:\/\/www.wirralaquatics.co.uk\/products\/ntlabs-aquarium-lab-mini-test-kit","provider":"Wirral Aquatics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
