    I bought a TetraTest Total Ammonia test kit today, checked the contents and then i got home, the color scale is missing. Heaven must be playing a joke on me so I hope to get some help reading my ammonia levels.

    I took 2 tests, tank water and tap water. I tried to use Photoshop to match the color of the solution in the vial. The best picture of the color scale i can find online is this.

    Anyone using this test kit can help me match the colors and tell me how much ammonia I have?

    I'm back!

    I tested again today, The color seems to have become something between the 2 colors above. Probably ammonia dropped after I added some floating plants and extra activated carbon filtration.

    Including colour charts...

    From the chart, your tap water could be 0 mg/l, aquarium water 1.5 mg/l and 0.25 mg/l in between.

    I tried the Tetra website but didn't find the charts. Thanks for the link. I think it's between 0.25 and 1.5 mg/l too!
    I'm back!
