Every once in a while we get a request for information related to testing pond water and aquarium water. Today we bring news of a product, AquariaTest™ Ammonia, that makes testing the ammonia levels in pond and aquarium water very easy.

Ammonia Aquarium and Pond test strips provide a water quality testing alternative to older testing methods which required the use of chemicals in liquid, powder, and/or tablet form. Ammonia AquariaTest™ also shortens testing times and makes it easy for anyone, novice or expert, to test the ammonia levels in their water.

As an added feature, the AquariaTest™ Ammonia will also work in salt (or brackish) water^*.

How to test for ammonia in fresh water:

• Using supplied pipette, fill one of the supplied vials half full (3 ml) with water.
