The Benefits of the Colombo Ammonia Test
Precision Essential for Safe Control
The Ammonia Colombo test offers professional precision for measuring ammonia, a compound that can quickly become toxic. With a colorimetric reading drop system, it can detect even low NH3 values, essential to avoid fatal risks. This tool is perfect for keeping control over the conditions of your aquarium.
Ease of Use with Illustrated Instructions
Designed for use by anyone, this test comes with clear instructions and an easy-to-read colour chart, making the process quick and easy. Within minutes, you can have a reliable measurement of ammonia in your water, giving you peace of mind and increased safety for your fish and plants.
Essential Monitoring for Aquatic Health
Maintaining low ammonia levels is vital to the health of the ecosystem. Ammonia, emitted from fish waste, can be harmful if it builds up. The Colombo Ammonia Test allows this parameter to be monitored regularly and avoids dangerous spikes for wildlife, thus ensuring stable and safe conditions.
Long-Term Sustainability and Economy
With its 40 tests included, the Colombo Ammonia kit is ideal for long-term monitoring, allowing you to carry out monthly or more frequent checks during the launch phase.

How to use the Colombo Ammonia Test?
General instructions
- Always make sure the test tube is thoroughly clean before use.
- Clean it thoroughly after each use so that it no longer contains any chemical residue that could distort subsequent results.
- Take the water sample as carefully as possible.
- Hold the vial upright when counting drops.
- Make sure there are no air bubbles in the drops.
Test procedure:
- Take a 10 ml water sample.
- Add 5 drops of NH3-1 liquid and shake the test tube.
- Then add 5 drops of NH3-2 test liquid and shake the test tube.
- Then add 5 drops of NH3-3 test liquid and shake the test tube.
- Wait 15 minutes.
- Determine the NH3 value of the water using the colorimetric card supplied with the kit.
To judge the colour of the water sample after all the test liquids have been added, proceed as follows: Place the test tube on the colour card supplied with the kit and look simultaneously - from above - into the test tube and onto the card. Do not look under direct sunlight, but under indirect light. Compare the colour of the water sample with the colours on the card. The colour that matches best indicates the desired value. The colours of the sample and the card are not always identical, as the actual values are usually between two standardised values and therefore correspond to a mixture of two adjacent colours. In this case, it is necessary to judge approximately between which colours the sample actually lies.
