🧪 Nitrite test - essential control for the health of your tank
Monitor nitrite levels in your aquarium or tank water and ensure a healthy environment for your fish. Nitrite is a toxic compound that, in excess, causes stress and compromises fish breathing and can lead to death by asphyxiation.
🔄 Nitrogen cycle in water:
- Food leftovers, fish excretions and organic matter become ammonia by heterotrophic bacteria (ammonification).
- Ammonia is oxidized by nitrifying nitrite bacteria and then nitrate.
- Nitrate is used by algae and aquatic plants.
- In natural environments, this cycle is balanced; In tanks, constant monitoring is essential to prevent imbalances.
⚠️ Importance of monitoring:
- High levels of nitrite are toxic and reduce the respiratory capacity of fish.
- Monitoring Nitrite and ammonia is regularly critical to preventing risks to organism health.
🧾 Mode of use:
- Water collection: Fill the beaker to the brand with tank water.
- Add 2 drops of reagent 1 (for salt water, 1 drop), cover and shake.
- Add 2 drops of reagent 2 (for salt water, 1 drop), cover and shake.
- Wait 10 minutes and compare the sample color with the color scale, preferably under natural light. For better reading, position the open beaker on the scale and note over.
🚨 ATTENTION:
- High levels of nitrite require partial immediate water exchange to prevent fish poisoning.
- Wash the beaker immediately after each use to avoid future reading errors.
- Keep the reagent bottles always tightly closed to ensure the effectiveness of the tests.
🔧 Prevention of high nitrite:
- Strict control of the amount of food to avoid leftovers.
- Avoid overpopulation in the tank.
- Keep the biological and mechanical filtering system in perfect operation.
- Perform partial shifts of water and regular cleaning in the filters.
