Salifert Test Kit Nitrite

Product details

Salifert Test Kit Nitrite is a chemistry test kit designed to measure nitrite levels in aquarium, freshwater, and pond water. In a properly cycled aquarium, nitrite is processed as part of the nitrogen cycle; if that cycle breaks down, nitrites can build up and become extremely toxic to fish and invertebrates. This kit helps you monitor nitrite so you can respond early if your tank is experiencing a cycle issue or oxygen-deprived zones are causing nitrogen compounds to shift back toward nitrite.

Features:

• Designed to detect nitrite-nitrogen by reading the color that develops during the test
• Formulated to not suffer from amine interference (e.g., naturally occurring amino acids), helping prevent falsely low readings at low nitrite levels
• Provides full color development within one minute
• Produces very intense color for easier detection of even minute traces of nitrite
• Includes two measurement scales so you can test across both very low and higher nitrite ranges
• Useful for marine water, freshwater, and garden pond water

Specifications:

• Test capacity: Sufficient for 50 tests
• Measurement scale 1 (nitrite-nitrogen): 0.002 – 0.12 mg/L
• Measurement scale 2 (nitrite-nitrogen): 0.02 – 1.2 mg/L
• Water types: Marine water, freshwater, and garden pond water
