Avoid touching the sensor with fingers, since skin oils can damage it. Do not use bleach, soap, detergents or hard objects to clean the sensor. Some dye medications may discolour the sensor. Sensitivity improves with age, provided the unit is not allowed to dry out, however, drying does not permanently impair the unit. For maximum sensitivity, the unit should be read under natural daylight or daylight simulating light. Red enhancing light minimizes green and blue hues, decreasing the apparent sensitivity of the unit. The response of the unit may be checked by holding it briefly over the mouth of an ammonia bottle: colour should develop rapidly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fishcave Aquatics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57089893794117,"sku":null,"price":9.74,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1033\/0977\/1077\/files\/1_441018ed-b3d5-4ea3-b1a3-6d2a3e76775b.jpg?v=1770589662"},{"product_id":"seachem-plant-pack-enhancer-npk","title":"Seachem Plant Pack Enhancer NPK","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSeachem plant pack enhancer is the perfect starter pack.

The reduction process also breaks the bonds between chlorine and nitrogen atoms in the chloramine molecule (NH\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003eCl), freeing the chlorine atoms and replacing them with hydrogen (H) to create ammonia (NH\u003csub\u003e3\u003c\/sub\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypically, dechlorinators stop there, leaving an aquarium full of toxic ammonia!

However, as with any natural processes, imbalances can occur. This is why it’s important to regularly test for the presence of ammonia, which can spike unexpectedly in your aquarium. As soon as it is detected, ammonia should be removed, otherwise it will damage your fish’s gill membranes and harm their respiration, which can eventually result in fish death. Even small amounts of ammonia stress fish, suppressing their immune systems and increasing the likelihood of disease outbreaks.

Furthermore, it is involved in various metabolic processes, e.g. the synthesis of sugars, starch, cellulose and lignin. Potassium can be stored in the plant cells and transported within the plant as needed, e.g. from the older to younger leaves. A certain amount of potassium is supplied by tap water. The harder the water, the more, the softer the water, the less. You can ask the local water supplier about the salary.

Typical symptoms are yellowing (chlorosis), which can appear in a punctual or flat manner between the leaf nerves or at the edge of the leaf.

Phosphate can be measured accurately and reliably with aquarium tests. Phosphate is absorbed very quickly by the plants and can be stored well. In aquariums in which there has been a phosphate deficiency for a long time, this means that the added phosphate initially \"disappears\" quickly from the water. After about 7 – 14 days of regular addition, when the plants have refilled their phosphate stores, the measurable phosphate content in the aquarium water then rises again. Phosphate is a real growth engine, both for aquatic plants and algae. Phosphate can therefore be used to control both plant growth and algae growth. For example, it has proven to be effective to use phosphate as a shock fertiliser with 0.1 – 0.2 mg\/L. You only fertilize again when the phosphate content has been at zero for a few days. Aquatic plants can store phosphate better than algae. This method can be used to make life difficult for the unwanted algae. While the plants supply themselves from their internal phosphate stores in \"phosphate-poor times\" and continue to grow, the algae \"starve\" and are thus significantly slowed down in their growth. A macronutrient fertiliser must always be used in combination with a micronutrient fertiliser (complete iron fertiliser).

To stay with the sugar example: The plant can \"burn\" the sugar in its cells again and drive other metabolic processes with the energy released.

The old rule also applies to the active ingredient glutaraldehyde: the dose makes the poison. Glutaraldehyde in concentrated form is a hazardous substance. At a dosage of 3 ml per 100 L of aquarium water, the active ingredient is diluted by a factor of 33,000. This application concentration is sufficient to significantly promote plant growth, but is so low that the aquarium inhabitants cannot be negatively influenced.

There are a number of other causes of ammonia spikes including adding too many new fish at once and changes in bacterial colonies due to the use of medications or sudden changes in water conditions. Ammonia spikes can cause serious problems for fish and other aquarium inhabitants and can quickly result in the loss of fish. ReeFlowers RemAmmonia works quickly to eliminate ammonia in aquariums. It can also be used to clean water when setting up new aquariums, before water changes and after medical treatments helping to reduce stress and acclimatise new fish.

After this 2ml for every 100 liters should be added weekly.
