We didn't get to do the ammonium test as our normal kit was on loan to a WW-trained school teacher for use with a class. We used our backup kit that can test most parameters except ammonium. Creek has quite a bit of debris (including plastic) from high rains around the last time we monitored. Water quite turbid - makes phosphate test tricky.
