Ammonia water forms at a pH above 7.4 as ammonia, which is particularly toxic. \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn a biological filter, bacteria break down ammonia water via nitrite into nitrate.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTwo types of bacteria are responsible for this process.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe first group converts \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eammonia water into nitrite\u003c\/strong\u003e , these bacteria \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eare called 'AOB'\u003c\/strong\u003e .
