Ammonia: is very harmful to fish and will cause stress, lower resistance to disease, damage gills and skin or even result in death. Ammonia is a waste product excreted through the fish's skin and gills or through buildup of fish waste or decaying food. In new aquariums ammonia can rise to 6 ppm or more but will decrease as your biological filter becomes established, which can take a few weeks. Readings should be kept to 0 ppm to ensure fish health. Test for Ammonia weekly and more often for new aquariums.

pH: Is the measure of acidity or alkalinity in water. 7.0 is neutral, lower than 7.0 is acidic and higher than 7.0 is alkaline. Proper pH is perhaps the most important factor in a successful aquarium or pond. Correct and constant pH ensures your fish and plants stay healthy. Different types of fish prefer certain water conditions. Here are a few examples with recommended acceptable ranges:

Freshwater Aquarium & Ponds
6.8 - 7.4 for Community Tanks
5.8 - 7.4 mostSouth American Cichlids
7.6 - 8.8 most African Cichlids
7.2 - 7.8 Live Bearing Tropical Fish & Goldfish
6.6 - 7.4 Egg Laying Tropical Fish

Saltwater Aquariums
8.0 - 8.4 is acceptable
