## Overview

The API AMMONIA 130-Test Kit offers millennial aquarium managers a precise, easy-to-use solution to monitor ammonia levels in both freshwater and saltwater tanks. With 130 tests per kit, dual liquid reagents, and clear color charts, it empowers proactive water quality management to prevent toxic ammonia buildup—the leading cause of fish stress and mortality. Trusted for nearly six decades, API’s kit is essential for maintaining vibrant, healthy aquatic environments and avoiding costly fish losses.

## Description

Testing water parameters weekly helps prevent invisible water problems that can be harmful to fish. Fish continually release ammonia into the aquarium through their gills, urine and solid waste. Uneaten food and decaying organic matter also add ammonia to the water. Small amounts of ammonia stress fish; large amounts of ammonia kill fish. Ammonia is the #1 killer of freshwater fish. The API AMMONIA TEST KIT for freshwater and saltwater squariums contains two liquid dropper bottles, easy-to-read instructions with information on how to test and correct unsafe water conditions, two color charts and a test tube with snap-tight cap. This test kit reads ammonia levels from 0 to 8 ppm. Use the API API AMMONIA TEST KIT several times a week for 4-6 weeks when you start a new aquarium, and then use it weekly for monitoring or when problems occur. This aquarium test kit is for use in freshwater and saltwater aquariums. With API aquarium products, it’s easy to keep a beautiful saltwater, freshwater or reef aquarium. For almost 60 years API has developed premium solutions with proven and effective results for your family and ours. API offers a range of testing kits, water conditioners, and nutritionally superior food, because we’re dedicated to making a better underwater world. They work to provide a safe, hospitable environment for fish such as tropical community fish, cichlids, goldfish and more. At API, we understand the rewards and relaxation of fishkeeping because we have a passion for fish too.

Review: Good ammonia test kit - For ammonia testing this is the best one I found with the simplest instructions and the quickest results. Very easy to clean up afterward and be ready for next time
Review: Highly recommended for keeping your fish happy all the time. - I'm using with the Ammonia Test Kit together with this. I did a deep research and found out this is better than the strip one. pros: Very accurate and easy to use. cons: I wish they make the "pH Down" solution bigger than "pH up" because usually we want the water to have lower pH level (depends on the fish type but, generally).
