Sector has a famous aquarium " fish before raising water ," or not fully explain the health of fish and water quality are closely related.


SN T00110

Features :
      To set up an aquarium ornamental fish breeding is not difficult, but to provide a stable
      water quality so that fish living in a Comfortable aquarium environment, that is an easy
      task ,because the most important is the number of fish will generate considerable
      Waste, although the high efficiency over waste remove most of the waste system ,
      but still small portion in the water Aerobic decomposition and generation of toxic
      substances , when these toxic substances continue to accumulate in the water ,
      and the fish is difficult to achieve Intolerable extent, may cause massive death of fish .
      Many aquarists usually kept a lot of their aquarium fish , relative, because the water
      quality caused isostere Increasingly serious pollution problems ,if not properly handled ,
      fish occurrence of disease or poisoning accidents opportunities will be significantly
      Promotion. Pollution problems caused by accidents,many factors, most
      important of which are the following three :
      ( 1 ) lack of oxygen , ( 2 ) ammonia poisoning , ( 3 ) nitrite poisoning .
      They are in the aquarium invisible killer , if not prior to combat , is tantamount to living in
      an unhealthy fish Environment , illness and death have always dangerous.Sector has a
      famous aquarium " fish before raising water ," or not fully explain the health of fish and
      water quality are closely related. Learn to rely on water quality testing product. This test
      is a simple combination of testing tools can be used to determine the Aquarium dissolved
      oxygen , ammonia and nitrite concentration is correct , not only as a result of its
      determination to improve and control of water quality Basis , but will also help prepare you
      for " raising water / culture of water" work , allowing you to do more with less in the

TBS Water Quality Tester Set : Dissolved Oxygen level testing 
                        1. Tester set : A, B, C, and D (4*10ml) ; 

                        2. Direction :
                            (1) Collect 10-15ml of the tested water into the beaker, make sure there
                                  is no air bubble while pouring.
                            (2) Add in 5 drops of A and 5 drops of B into the tested water.
                                  (Do not shake the solution at this stage!) There should be light
                                   yellow precipitant formed.
                            (3) Add in more sampled water into the beaker until the water level has
                                  reached the top beaker (The total volume should be approximately
                                  27.5ml). Pour the water in along the edge of the to avoid air bubbles
                                  from getting into the beaker. Close the lid tightly to prevent further
                                  contact with the air.
                            (4) Let the solution stand for 10 minutes until the precipitant all settle at
                                  the bottom of the beaker.The precipitant should now turn into light
                                  brown color due to chemical reaction.
                            (5) Open the lid and pour out the solution until there is only 10-15ml of
                                  solution remaining in the beaker. Make sure you leave the
                                  precipitant in the beaker,don't pour them out!
                            (6) Add in 5 drops of C and lightly shake the solution for 30 seconds to
                                  dissolve the brown precipitant, if the precipitant is not totally
                                  dissolved,add in one more drop of C.
                            (7) Lightly shake the solution while adding in D one drop at a time.
                                  Carefully observe the color changes; stop adding in D when the
                                  solution turns from yellow to transparent. Record the number of
                                  drops added.

                        3. Result Analysis:
                             (1) One drop of D is equivalent to 0.5ppm of dissolved oxygen.
                             (2) Dissolved oxygen level can be calculated according to the total
                                    number of drop added.  For example, if the total number of drop
                                    added is 14, the dissolved oxygen level of the water is
                                    0.5ppm x 14= 7ppm.
                             (3)  For freshwater (under 25 degree Celsius), the dissolved oxygen
                                     level is most ideal at 8ppm. The water level is unhealthy if the
                                    dissolved oxygen level is below 4ppm.           
                             (4)  For saltwater (under 25 degree Celsius), the dissolved oxygen
                                    level is most ideal at 5ppm. The water level is unhealthy if the
                                    dissolved oxygen level is below 3ppm.

                        4. Rescue Action :
                             (1)  If the dissolved oxygen level is below standard, expose the water
                                    to air.    
                             (2)  Find out the element that is causing the low dissolved oxygen level
                                    and seek improvement, for example: too many fish, too much
                                     food...etc. Ammonia level
                                    testing Part I : Ammonium level testing
                                      1.tester set : A, B, C, and D(3*10ml, 0.6g)
                                      2. direction :
                                           (1) Collect 5ml of the tested water into the beaker.
                                           (2) Add in 5 drops of A. Shake the solution well.
                                           (3) Add in 5 drops of B. Shake the solution well.
                                           (4) Add in 5 drops of C. Shake the solution well.
                                           (5) Add in a little bit of D (use the handle end of the spoon to
                                                collect D).Shake the solution well to dissolve D.
                                           (6) Let the solution stand for 15 minutes. Compare the color
                                                of the solution to the color chart and make note of the
                                                 reading value corresponding to that color.
                                    Part II : pH level testing
                                         1.Tester set: only one tester (l*10ml)
                                         2. Direction :
                                            (1) Collect 5ml of the tested water into the beaker.
                                            (2) Add in 5 drops of the tester and shake the solution well.
                                                  Compare the color of the solution to the color chart and
                                                  make note of the reading value of the pH level
                                                  corresponding to that color.
                                    Part III : Explanation
                                            (1) Ammonia come from dissolved protein, residual baits,
                                                  and dead fishes.
                                            (2) The tested value stands for the total ammonia which
                                                   indicates the total NH4 / NH3.
                                            (3) "Ammonia; NH3" is toxic, but "Ammonium; NH4 is not.
                                                   These two can transform into each other in the water
                                                   affecting by the pH level.
                                            (4) The higher the pH level is, the easier it is for ammonia
                                                   (NH3) to form. Vice versa, the lower the pH level is, the
                                                   easier it is for ammonium (NH4) to form. Therefore, the
                                                   toxic ammonia (NH3) level increased as the pH level
                                                   increases.
                                            (5) In acid (pH< 7), almost all the ammonia will turn into
                                                   ammonium.
                                            (6) The relationship table of the ammonia level and the pH
                                                   level.    
 ammonia level 0 0 1.5 3.5 5.5 10 20 35
PH level 6.4 6.8 7.2 7.6 8.0 8.4 8.8 9.2

                                   Part IV : Result Analysis
                                             (1) Use the ammonium level and the pH level of the water to
                                                   determine the ammonia level. For example, if the
                                                   ammonium level is 2ppm and the pH level is 7.6,
                                                    the ammonia level will be 2ppm X 0.035 = 0.07ppm.
                                             (2) The water is toxic if the ammonia level is between
                                                    0.2-0.5ppm. In this environment, the fish can be
                                                    poisoned immediately and die. If the ammonia
                                                    level is between 0.05-0.2ppm,it is dangerous.
                                                    0ppm is most ideal.
                                   Part V : Rescue action         
                                             (1)  When the ammonia level is too high, use acid to lower
                                                    the pH level or change part of the water.
                                              (2) Find out the reason causing the high ammonia level and
                                                    seek improvements.For example, check to see if the
                                                    nitrifying bacteria level is sufficient.

                                  Nitrite level testing   
                                          1. Tester set : only one tester (l*15g)
                                          2.  Direction  :
                                              (1)  Collect 5ml of the tested water into the beaker.
                                              (2)  Add in one spoon of the tester. Shake the solution well
                                                     to dissolve the tester. Compare the color of the solution
                                                     to the color chart and make note of the reading value
                                                     of the nitrite level corresponding to that color.
                                          3. Explanation :
                                              (1)  Nitrite is transformed from NH4/NH3, and is a middle
                                                     product when bacteria decompose protein.
                                              (2)  Nitrite usually causes the symptoms such as, fishes in
                                                     bad appetite,fading body colors of fishes, insufficient
                                                     oxygen level, vulnerable to fish disease. So, nitrite test
                                                     is a very important work.
                                          4. Result analysis :
                                               (1)  Nitrite level is most ideal at 0.3ppm or lower. If the
                                                      nitrite level is between 0.5-2.0ppm, the water is not
                                                      healthy. If the nitrite level is higher than 2ppm, it is
                                                      very dangerous.
                                               (2)  If the nitrite level is too high, it means that the
                                                      nitrifying action is not performing well. This will
                                                      indirectly cause the increase of the ammonia
                                                      poisoning.
                                          5. Rescue action:
                                               (1)  Change part of the water when the nitrite level is too
                                                      high.
                                               (2)  Add in more nitrifying bacteria into the farm.

                          NOTE :
                                          1. Wash the beaker with the sample water several times before
                                               starting testing.
                                           2. Close the lid of the tester tightly right after using the tester.
                                           3. The expiration date of the tester is 12 month after the first
                                               opening of the tester bottle.
                                           4. Avoid direct sunlight to the color chart attached with the
                                                package.When not using the tester, make sure the package
                                                is out of the way of direct sunlight as well.
                                           5. Keep out of the reach of children.
