API

The API Ammonia Test Kit measures ammonia levels in both fresh and saltwater aquariums. Ammonia, the number one killer of tropical fish, is continually produced in the aquarium from fish waste, decomposing plants and uneaten fish food.

• Ammonia NH3/NH4+ test kit
• Monitors toxic ammonia to help prevent fish loss
• For fresh and saltwater aquariums

Ammonia in the aquarium will damage delicate gill membranes and prevent fish from carrying on normal respiration. High levels of ammonia quickly lead to fish death. Even trace amounts can stress fish, suppressing their immune systems and thereby increasing the likelihood of disease and subsequent fish loss.

This fast, accurate and easy-to-use kit contains: 2 dropper bottles, test solutions, easy-to-read instructions, color chart and glass tube with lid. Provides 130 tests for ammonia levels from 0 to 8 ppm.

Nitrate buildup in aquariums is often an indicator of declining water quality. High levels of nitrate are frequently associated with poor fish health, algae growth, and a build-up or organic pollutants. Up to 90 tests with this API Kit.

Aquarium Pharmaceuticals Fresh And Salt Water Nitrate Test Kit measures nitrate (NO3) in freshwater and saltwater aquariums. The enclosed instruction booklet will tell how to test for nitrate, what the results mean and how to improve water quality and fish health.

Fast, easy and accurate. Reads 0 to 160 mg/L or parts per million (ppm) of nitrate. Child resistant safety caps. The Fresh And Salt Water Nitrate Test snap-tight cap.

API Bio-Chem Stars quickly establish the biological filter in aquariums, with 4 times more surface area than ceramic rings for rapid, massive bacterial colonization. They never need replacing and provide biological filtration to remove toxic ammonia and nitrites from your tank.

• 4X more surface area for massive bacterial colonization
• Quickly removes toxic ammonia and nitrites
• Never needs replacing, will not break down or clog filter

Bio-Chem Stars are safe in fresh and saltwater and should be used for aquarium start-up and/or maintenance. Its never too late to start a robust biological filter and get your tank healthy! Specially manufactured from space-age polymers with a 50-70 micron internal pore network, they allow rapid oxygen and water transfer for maximum growth and health of beneficial nitrifying bacteria colonies.

Why Bio-Filtration
Biological filtration utilizes natural nitrifying bacteria to convert toxic ammonia into nitrate, a process known as the nitrogen cycle. These beneficial bacteria grow as your fish produce waste, establishing colonies on top layers of aquarium gravel or in biological media such as Bio-Chem Stars. Providing these bacteria with plenty of surface area on which to grow is an essential part of maintaining a safe and healthy aquatic environment.

Directions: Remove Bio-Chem Stars from plastic bag and rinse thoroughly to remove any dust. Place in the last compartment of your filter. Bio-Chem Stars will become colonized by bacteria within several weeks. Using API Stress Zyme will help with the establishment of the biological filter.
