How Long After Water Change To Test Ammonia

How long after changing the water to detect ammonia nitrogen

Where fish ponds, it is common to change the water. However, after changing the water, when to test ammonia nitrogen, this is a matter for fish farmers to know.

Because of the water environment, it is crucial to the survival of fish. Although changing the water is to improve the water quality, the new water enters the pool, and the ecological balance in the pool is temporarily disrupted. Ammonia nitrogen, harmful substances in the water, the content is too high, fish are prone to disease, and even life-threatening.

Generally speaking, after changing the water, about one to two hours (ie 2-4 hours), everything in the water gradually stabilizes. At this time, the detection of ammonia nitrogen can obtain a more accurate number. If there is a large difference between the new water and the original water when changing the water, such as water temperature and pH, it is advisable to wait a little longer, about three to four o'clock, until the water body is fully integrated and the ecology is slightly re-balanced, and then test.

There are also experienced fish farmers who observe the water color and fish state, and roughly infer the ammonia nitrogen status based on experience. However, although experience can be relied on, accurate detection is essential to ensure the health of the fish. Detect ammonia nitrogen on time, and adjust the water quality according to its value in a timely manner, so that the fish can swim happily and the pool is full of vitality.
