Description
Keep your fish healthy and thriving by testing your aquarium water's NO3 levels regularly with this easy-to-use API NITRATE TEST KIT for freshwater and saltwater aquariums. Testing water parameters weekly helps prevent invisible water problems that can be harmful to fish. When left uncorrected, high nitrate in aquarium water can lead to a build-up of organic pollutants and poor fish health. Testing is fast, easy, and accurate. The API NITRATE TEST KIT for freshwater and saltwater aquariums tests for harmful nitrate levels from 0-160 mg/L. This product comes with one nitrate bottle, one capped glass test tube, one instruction manual and one colour card. The API NITRATE TEST KIT for freshwater and saltwater aquariums Test Kit can be used in freshwater and saltwater aquariums.With API Aquarium products, it’s easy to keep a beautiful saltwater, freshwater or reef aquarium. For over 50 years, API has been creating innovative, research-driven solutions that make it easier to care for your fish and aquarium. API Aquarium Treatment Supplies are designed to work in conjunction with each other to provide best results to control algae, promote healthy bacterial growth and help control and cure fish diseases and conditions such as ich and fin rot.Nitrate is produced in the aquarium by the biological filter. Beneficial bacteria in the biological filter convert toxic ammonia and nitrite into nitrate. A high nitrate level indicates a build-up of fish waste and organic compounds, resulting in poor water quality and contributing to the likelihood of fish disease. Maintaining a low nitrate level improves the health of fish and invertebrates. Excessive nitrate also provides a nitrogen source that can stimulate algal blooms. Aquarium water should be tested for nitrate once a week to ensure the nitrate does not reach an undesirable level. This test kit reads total nitrate (NO3) level in parts per million (ppm) which are equivalent to milligrams per liter from 0 – 160 ppm.
