Niveles de pH recomendados
Para los invertebrados y peces de agua salada, el pH
ideal es de 8,2 - 8,4. Para fijar el pH automáticamente
en 8,2 - 8,4 use BUFFER MAX™ MARINE de API para
acuarios de agua salada.
Frecuencia de las pruebas
El pH debe analizarse semanalmente, ya que los
materiales naturales del acuario (como los desechos
de los peces y la comida no ingerida) pueden provocar
cambios en el pH. La lectura de pH mínima de este kit
es 7,4 y la máxima es 8,8. En condiciones de agua
extremas, si el pH es inferior al mínimo, la lectura
indicara 7,4 y se es superior al máximo indicara
8,8. Los ajustes del pH fuera del rango de este kit no
mostraran cambio alguno hasta que el pH del agua del
acuario se encuentre dentro del rango de este kit.
AMMONIA TEST
Why Test for Ammonia?
Fish continually release ammonia (NH
aquarium through their gills, urine, and solid waste.
Uneaten food and other decaying organic matter also
add ammonia to the water. A natural mechanism exists
that controls ammonia in the aquarium - the biological
filter. It is made up of nitrifying bacteria. However,
as with any natural process, imbalances can occur.
Testing for the presence of toxic ammonia is essential.
Ammonia in the aquarium may damage gill membranes,
and prevent fish from carrying on normal respiration.
High levels of ammonia quickly lead to fish death. Even
trace amounts stress fish, suppressing their immune
system and thereby increasing the likelihood of disease
outbreaks and subsequent fish loss.
Testing Tips
This salicylate-based ammonia test kit reads the total
ammonia level in parts per million (ppm) which are
equivalent to milligrams per liter (mg/L) from 0 ppm
to 8.0 ppm (mg/L).
Directions for Testing Ammonia
Read thoroughly before testing. Do not allow test
solutions to get into aquarium.
