Testing for Ammonia

[Caesar]

Last question,

The API 5-in-1 test strips I have don't measure ammonia.
I believe I read that a pH higher than 8 has ammonia in it.

If my pH level stays at 7, is there any possible chance for there to still be ammonia?
Should I buy the API Master Test Kit (drops instead of strips) ty

Ammonia and pH are separate things. You will want to get a separate ammonia kit. The API is quite good.

Test strips are notorious for giving inaccurate results. It would be worth investing in a liquid test kit. The API freshwater master kit includes nitrate, nitrite,ammonia and PH and is a popular one. As mentioned above, PH and ammonia are different.
