Aquavascular Nitrite / Nitrate test kit

 

Aquavascular Nitrite (NO2-) and Nitrate (NO3-) freshwater test kit:

Pros and cons of high and low nitrites/nitrates:

The presence of nitrite indicates inefficient biological filtration. Excess nitrates can lead to fish fatalities by compromising their immunity and low nitrate can cause deficiency symptoms like yellowing and stunting in plants.

How to manage nitrate levels?

Water Changes: Performing routine water changes helps dilute nitrate levels in the aquarium. Aim for weekly water changes of around 30-50% of the total volume.

Proper feeding: Feed your fish only what they consume within a few minutes.

Biological filtration: Use efficient filter in aquarium to convert nitrites into nitrates. Use filter media that promotes beneficial bacteria growth.

Check water parameters routinely.

Use Aquavascular AIO Care to reduce nitrites and nitrates in your aquarium to achieve safe levels.

 Instructions for nitrite and nitrate test:

• Take 5 ml of aquarium water into the test vial.
• For Nitrite estimation, add 5 drops of NO3--1 solution and mix gently. If pink color appears then compare it with the provided color chart. If pink color does not appear then proceed with nitrate test.
• To the same test vial add another 5 drops of NO3--1 solution again and mix gently.
• Then add 10 drops of NO3--2 solution. (Note: Shake the NO3--2 solution vigorously for 1 minute continuously before use.). Mix well and wait for 5 minutes before placing the test vial against the color chart.

Note:

• Keep out of reach of children! The use of protective gloves is recommended. In case of eye contact wash thoroughly with water or seek medical expert.
• Please read the instructions carefully before using.
