NT Labs Nitrite Test – Safeguarding Your Aquarium Against Harmful Nitrite Levels

Understanding Nitrite: Nitrite is a by-product of beneficial filtration bacteria breaking down harmful ammonia excreted by fish. Although not as toxic as ammonia, nitrite poses a serious threat to fish health. It is invisible to the naked eye and is broken down into nitrate, which is less harmful to fish.

What is the Correct Nitrite Level? Zero tolerance for nitrite is crucial in aquariums. Maintain a level of zero mg/L (ppm) at all times to ensure the well-being of your fish.

What to Do if the Nitrite Level is Wrong:

• For 0.25 – 0.5 mg/l (ppm) of nitrite, add Filter Bugs.
• If nitrite levels exceed this range, conduct a substantial water change. Change 25% of the water volume for 1 mg/l (ppm) nitrite and 50% for higher levels.
• Zeolite can remove ammonia (and thus nitrite) from the water and can be recharged.
• If nitrite is detected, check other vital water quality parameters, especially pH and ammonia.

How to Use the Nitrite Test:

1. Ensure the test tube is clean.
2. Collect a 5 ml water sample into the test tube.
3. Add 5 drops of the Nitrite reagent.
4. Replace the test tube cap and shake thoroughly.
5. Wait for 2 minutes, then compare the color of the sample to the provided color scale. A colorless sample indicates zero nitrite, while any hint of pink signals the presence of nitrite in the water. Disregard any color forming after the two minutes.

Additional Information:

• The test kit reports concentration in terms of nitrogen (NO2-N) for compatibility with reported safe concentrations for fish and plants.
• If interested in the ionic concentration, multiply the result by 3.29 (NO2-N).

Trust NT Labs Nitrite Test to provide accurate measurements, allowing you to take prompt action against harmful nitrite levels. Keep your fish healthy and thriving by monitoring and managing nitrite effectively. Rely on NT Labs for reliable water testing solutions.

Colombo Ammonia Pond Test Kit

Ammonia (NH3) is excreted by fish directly into the water, and is also released from the breakdown of solid waste and uneaten food. Ammonia is highly toxic to fish, but is usually removed from the water by the bacteria which live inside the filter.

The only way to know what the ammonia level is, is by testing the water with an Ammonia test kit. Regular testing, especially in new ponds, will prevent damage caused by ammonia poisoning.

Colombo Ammonia Pond Test Kit contains 40 tests.

Kusuri Nitrite Test Kit

The Kusuri Nitrite Test Kit comprises of 3 x 10 foil sealed tablets, test tube with cap, plastic acetate colour match chart with colour breaks at 0/0.1/0.25/0.5/1.0/2.0 and 4mg/L.

The Kusuri Nitrite Test Kit features Palintest technology components, they are the very best in visual test kits.

The Kusuri Nitrite Test kit features an easy to colour match plastic acetate card, and are supplied with non-degradable foil sealed tablets. Each kit will do 30 tests. The ‚‚¦one off‚‚½ range principle is exactly that!  Buy it once, and you can replenish your kit with refill tablets (for 50 tests) or any other components required, and of course we put plenty of water quality information in our kits, so appropriate action can be taken if results are not as anticipated.

Kusuri Test Kits feature an accurate plastic acetate colour strip. When held up to a daylight source, it is far easier to compare than a paper printed chart.
