🧪 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.
