Seachem Alert - Combo Pack PH and Ammonia

The Seachem Alert Combo is a monitoring tool designed for aquariums, providing continuous readings of pH and ammonia levels. It includes two sensors: the Ammonia Alert and the pH Alert.

Ammonia Alert: This sensor detects free ammonia, which is toxic to fish. The central sensor changes color from yellow to green to blue as ammonia levels increase, offering a clear visual indication of water quality. It's suitable for both freshwater and marine environments.

pH Alert: This device monitors pH levels in freshwater aquariums. The sensor changes color reversibly to indicate shifts in pH between 5.8 and 8.2, helping aquarists maintain optimal conditions for their aquatic life.

Both sensors are designed for continuous placement inside the aquarium or filter, eliminating the need for regular testing with strips or solutions. They provide real-time monitoring, ensuring that any changes in water chemistry are promptly detected.

Users have noted that the Ammonia Alert badge should be read under consistent lighting conditions, preferably with the tank light on, to ensure accurate color interpretation. Additionally, the presence of natural tannins from driftwood or leaves can discolor the pH sensor, potentially affecting its readability. The sensors are designed to last up to a year; however, their longevity can be influenced by specific tank conditions.

Overall, the Seachem Alert Combo offers a convenient and continuous method for monitoring critical water parameters, aiding in the maintenance of a healthy aquarium environment.
