Description:
Aquasonic Nitrite Freshwater or Marine Test Kit - Australian Made, Test your freshwater or Marine aquarium for Toxic Nitrite levels.
In all aquarium systems, biological activity develops in your filter, and on the surface of gravels and decorations etc.
These bacteria are essential to achieve a balance in your aquarium and different types of bacteria need to be present in the right proportions to break down waste and deal with ammonia, nitrite and nitrate, which can all be harmful to your fish.
Every time you change or add something in your tank, or you clean it, you potentially upset the balance because you are effectively removing some of these bacteria.
The replacement of plants and coral or cleaning of filters, gravel or substrate, even in part, can also cause a NITRITE condition to re-occur, even in wellestablished aquariums.
Complete sterilisation during the cleaning of an aquarium will also result in a NITRITE condition because you have removed bacteria in the sterilisation process. NITRITE is toxic to fish, even in quantities as small as 1ppm.
If you are starting a new aquarium, it is recommended that you don’t put new fish into the system until a NITRITE reading of less than 1ppm is achieved (ideally zero)
