Seachem Ammonia Alert Continuous Ammonia Monitor | 9g (0.32 oz)

The Seachem Ammonia Alert offers continuous, real-time monitoring of toxic free ammonia in both freshwater and marine aquariums. Unlike traditional test kits, this innovative sensor changes color reversibly from yellow to green to blue, directly indicating ammonia concentration. It detects levels below 0.05 mg/L (ppm), alerting you to the primary cause of fish stress and mortality before visible signs appear. This device is designed for simplicity, requiring no water sampling, chemicals, or procedures, and lasts over a year.

The sensor's color change provides an immediate visual cue. In the absence of free ammonia, the unit typically displays a yellow or faint yellow-green hue. It's normal for a dry sensor to have a greenish tint. While it takes a few days for a dry sensor to equilibrate with aquarium water, the response to increasing ammonia levels is rapid, occurring in about 15 minutes. Response to decreasing ammonia is slower, requiring approximately 4 hours to return to a safe reading once ammonia is removed.

For Indian aquarists, maintaining stable water parameters is crucial, especially with varying tap water quality. The Ammonia Alert provides constant vigilance, helping prevent catastrophic ammonia spikes that can occur after water changes or due to overfeeding. It's a vital tool for ensuring the health and safety of your aquatic pets, offering peace of mind with its continuous, hassle-free monitoring. All customs duties and GST are included in the listed price.
