What is ammonia NH3 NH4? - seneye NH3 (ammonia) is a gas and sometimes called toxic or free ammonia This type of ammonia is the dangerous part NH4 (ammonium) is a nontoxic salt It is the ionised form of ammonia NH3 and NH4 together are often referred to as total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) Under normal conditions, NH3 (ammonia) and NH4 (ammonium) will both be present in
seneye slide NH3 pH The NH3 is the most likely to be damaged and it will turn grey and give false high readings If you think you have damaged your slide through mishandling then simply fit a new slide Q When I remove my device from the aquarium it shows a higher pH when dropped back in
what ammonia level is safe - seneye NH3 is reported in the unit of ppm but this is interchangeable with mg L as it is a gas dissolved in water Want to reduce your ammonia because you have a high level or problem? If so then please click here The seneye device and seneye connect application allows you to look at free ammonia between 0 001ppm and 0 500ppm The seneye me website
NH4 and NH3 calculations tables - seneye In true terms NH4 is a nontoxic substance in the aquarium, however due to the equilibrium which occurs between NH3 NH4 at a given pH and temperature it is better to measure NH4 as an indicator of NH3 than nothing at all Interpretation of NH4 to estimate NH3 is most often done by a chart supplied with the test kit or by a calculation online
Fitting and registering your seneye slide The seneye slide is for your NH3 and pH readings; without a valid slide fitted you will not receive SMS alerts You will need to soak your slide in the water it will monitor before fitting it so that it stabilizes: 24 hours before for freshwater and 48 hours before for salt water You can soak your slides in a container of the system water
Strange pH NH3 readings - seneye Chlorine and Chloramine, even in very small amounts, will bleach the coloured sensor pads on the slide Over the course of time, the pH NH3 reading will normally decrease Always ensure that you use good dechlorinators when using tap water and mix it before adding to the aquarium Most carbon based tap water filters will struggle to remove

Is my seneye+ slide damaged - Seneye On this slide the sensor pad for NH3 has started to change colour, so there must be some NH3 present, but the colour is not continuous across the entire pad Stained Slides Some chemicals may stain the sensor pads rather than harm the chemistry, and since a Seneye sensor calculates pH and NH3 values based on the colour of the sensor pads, this
reducing ammonia NH3 levels - seneye We know high levels of NH3 (ammonia) is harmful to fish in the aquarium or pond but reducing them can often be a problem Please follow this link to understand what are safe NH3 levels All aquariums should have a biological and or chemical filtration to control ammonia
Handling and fitting your seneye slide - Seneye Each slide has two sensors The sensor with the white coating is pH, and the uncoated one is NH3 Touching the NH3 pad will cause it to pick up grease from your fingers and can damage the slide therefore, care should be taken when the slide is being fitted You can visually examine your slide to see if it is damaged Always pick up the slide
