Water Quality Analysis

$15.00

Water quality is the foundation of successful aquaculture. Poor water quality reduces production and threatens overall farm sustainability.

Routine Parameters Tested: Total Alkalinity, Total Hardness, pH, Total Ammonia Nitrogen, Unionized “Toxic” Ammonia, Nitrite, Chloride, Free Phosphate, and Total Phosphate.

Other parameters are available upon request.

Total Alkalinity and Total Hardness

Changes in pH can be stressful to the fish, algae and nitrifying bacteria. Balancing alkalinity and hardness reduces this risk.

pH

A small increase in pH can result in high increases in toxic ammonia. Your pH should be measured in the late afternoon when it is highest.

Nitrite and Chloride

High nitrite results in fish respiratory stress and possible mortality. Managing your chloride level can help to eliminate this risk.

Ammonia

High ammonia reduces fish growth (see figure below).
