Salifert Nitrite Test Kit
Maintaining optimal nitrite levels in an aquarium is vital for the health of fish and invertebrates, as high concentrations of nitrites can be extremely toxic. The Salifert Nitrite Test Kit offers a reliable solution for accurately measuring nitrite concentrations without interference from amines, ensuring precise results even at low concentrations. With full color development within one minute and intense coloration for easy detection, this kit provides two different scales: an ultra-low scale ranging from 0.002 to 0.12 mg/L for nitrite-nitrogen, and a medium scale ranging from 0.02 to 1.2 mg/L. With the capacity to perform approximately 60 measurements, aquarists can effectively monitor and manage nitrite levels in their aquariums to maintain a healthy aquatic environment.

Salifert Nitrite Test Kit
In a properly cycled aquarium, nitrite is converted to nitrate and then, if there are areas deprived of oxygen such as in live rock and other filter materials, this nitrate is converted back to nitrite and then transformed into harmless nitrogen gas.
If this cycle breaks down then nitrites, which are extremely toxic to fish and invertebrates, can form in high concentration. Many nitrite test kits suffer from interference caused by amines e.g. naturally occurring and essential amino acids. This can result in a too low measured value, especially when the nitrite concentration is relatively low.
Because of its unique formulation, the Salifert Test Kit does not suffer from amine interference, and offers full color development within one minute. Also, the color is very intense making the detection of even minute traces of nitrite easy.
The Salifert test kit has two different scales: an ultra-low scale for nitrite-nitrogen which ranges from 0.002 - 0.12 mg/L, and a medium scale for nitrite-nitrogen which ranges from 0.02 - 1.2 mg/L.
A very easy, reliable and convenient way to test Potassium. Contains up to 40 potassium tests. Approx. 60 measurements.
