Ammonia poses a great threat to the aquatic life and works as a silent killer in apparently well maintained aquariums/ponds. It is very difficult to determine the presence of ammonia without testing the water sample chemically. The Lifesonic ammonia test kit enable the user to determine the present ammonia levels within 5 minutes and at very low expense. This test kit follows the colorimetric method of chemical detection and the presence of ammonia in water is indicated by varying intensities of yellow and green color. The yellow sample color indicates absence of ammonia, while green color indicates presence of ammonia in lethal quantity. By this kit user can perform over 100 tests and can determine the ammonia levels from 0 ppm to 8 ppm.

Ammonia testing is something we all do when cycling a new aquarium. It’s also a good idea to monitor the water quality when adding new livestock to an established tank. And of course, when something doesn’t look right in the aquarium, one of the first thing we grab is the ammonia test kit.

It seems everyone has their favorite ammonia kit. Even so, online discussions reveal no one has ever come to a unanimous conclusion as to which ammonia test kit is “the best.

The difficulty with evaluating test kits that rely on matching colors with our eyes is that we all don’t see colors the same way. Then there’s subconscious bias toward one kit over another, especially when it cost more, cost less or looks super technical.

For this ammonia test kit evaluation, we used a “blind” three-person test panel. The water samples contained known lab-prepared ammonia levels. But none of the people using the kits had any idea what the levels were. They simply performed the tests and wrote down the results.

There are two “standard” ammonia testing methods used in liquid test kits.

Originally ammonia test kits used the Nessler method. It’s based on a chemical called mercuric iodide, which reacts with ammonia to form a yellowish color. The intensity of the yellow color is proportional to the ammonia level.

To eliminate aquarist exposure to mercury and the environmental impact of pouring the test solution down the drain, most aquarium kit manufacturers switched to the Salicylate method. This test method involves a series of reactions that form a green color in proportion to the ammonia level. The advantage of the Salicylate method is it’s better for detecting low levels of ammonia. Both test methods report ammonia as Total Ammonia, NH3 plus NH4+.
