JBL TEST NH4 AMMONIUM – Quick Test for Measuring Ammonium in Freshwater, Marine Aquariums and Ponds
The JBL NH4 Test is a vital tool for monitoring the nitrogen cycle in aquariums and garden ponds. As organic matter decomposes, proteins are broken down into ammonium, which then converts to nitrite and nitrate. This test detects ammonium (NH4) levels, providing insight into filter efficiency and overall biological balance.
While ammonium is generally non-toxic and serves as a nutrient for aquatic plants, it can become dangerous when converted into ammonia (NH3) at high pH levels. The JBL NH4 test allows users to calculate ammonia levels based on pH readings, helping protect fish from toxicity.
The kit includes a dual-vial comparator system to account for water color and ensure accurate colorimetric readings. It offers approximately 50 tests and includes all necessary materials: reagents, glass test vials with caps, syringe, color chart, and comparator block. Reagent refills are available separately.
Recommended NH4 levels:
Freshwater and Malawi-Tanganyika tanks: < 0.25 mg/l
Heavily planted tanks (aquascaping): < 0.25 mg/l
Marine aquariums: 0–0.25 mg/l
Garden ponds: < 0.1 mg/l
