Is ammonia in an aquarium measured in ppm?
Yes it is. You're looking for as little ammonia as possible, hopefully 0ppm. If it's over ~25ppm in a common freshwater tank, you should take measures to reduce the levels through water changes or chemical means.
What do blood glucose levels indicate?
The standard ranges of blood glucose in healthy adults range from 7-10mmol/l. They indicate adequate pancreatic function. In diabetic patients, blood glucose levels can be considerably elevated.
Does ammonia have any health hazards?
Everyone is regularly exposed to low levels of ammonia in air, soil, water, and food. You can be exposed to higher levels of ammonia by breathing it or having skin contact with it.

How do you cure live rock?
Live rock is cured by putting it in the aquarium, with all the systems running, for several weeks until any die off has occured. You can monitor the cycle by testing for ammonia, which will spike first, and then nitrite, which will spike second. Once ammonia AND nitrite levels are back to zero, the liverock is cured.
Why cant aquarium salt be used to create a brackish water environment?
Aquarium salts do not contain the proper minerals that salt water fish need, and are mainly used for cleaning and conditioning the tank. You will need to use marine salts to get the proper healthy levels in your tanks.
What is the maximum ammonia level that's safe to put new fish in a tank?
Ammonia levels should be at zero. Ammonia is never safe to have in an aquarium especially new fish. Transporting a fish generally causes some stress for them and with the addition of a water problem in their new home it could prove fatal. If this is a brand new tank it would be wise to cycle it fully before adding a fish.
What are the symptoms of high ammonia levels?
confusion, sleepiness, lethargy
High blood ammonia levels?
In medical term, it is "hyperammonemia".
How does ammonia affect the body?
At moderate levels ammonia can affect the eyes, skin, and throat of the human body. At higher concentrations, ammonia can cause lung and brain damage.
How NH3 content in the tropical fish aquarium may be controlled?
The only way to control deadly poisonous Ammonia and Nitrite is to have a properly cycled filter. The naturally occurring bacteria in the 'cycled' filter media, converts the ammonia firstly into nitrIte and then converts the nitrIte into relatively harmless nitrAte. Regular water changes prevent the nitrAte from building up to dangerous levels.
How do fishes in the aquarium survive?
Sometimes fish die in aquariums when the ammonia level is too high. I recommend taking a sample of the water to a pet store to have it checked for anything wrong. I had fish dying and took mine to have it checked. When I got the levels water problems fixed my fish stopped dying. It could be from high ammonia levels, not enough oxygen, not the right temperature, or a disease or parasite
What do you need to take out the water of your aquarium?
The reason why you need to do regular weekly (at minimum) water changes in your aquarium is due to fish waste. Toxins such as ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate will build up and cause harm, or even death to your fish.By changing out at least 50% of the water and adding new water (that is the same temperature as the old water) keeps the toxins at safe levels; your ammonia and nitrites should test at zero, and your nitrates at less than 10 to 20ppm.Also, make sure that you are using aquarium water conditioner per the instructions on the bottle to remove harmful chemicals (such as chloramine) from your tap water to make it safe for your fish.
