- 0.0 - 6.0 mg/l

Ammonia is often called the silent killer and can be especially problematic in new aquariums and at higher pH levels where it becomes more toxic to fish. In all new tank set-ups we recommend regular testing for ammonia and after the stock has been increased with the addition of new fish.

Nutrafin Nitrite test kit Nutrafin Nitrite test kit
- Nutrafin Test Kit
- Nitrite for Fresh and Salt water
- 0.0 - 3.3 mg/l
- 75 tests

Nitrite is particularly problematic in new aquaria, or after an increase in fish stocks. It is the second stage of the nitrogen filter cycle. It is an intermediate product created by the bacteria that consume ammonia. The bacteria that consume nitrite are slower to colonise the filter leading to a build up in the aquarium. Nitrite causes stress to fish, reduces the ability of oxygen to be taken up in the bloodstream and will generally lead to opportunistic disease attacking the fish. We recommedn regular testing during the early life of the tank or after an increase in fish stocks.

Test Kits are a useful tool for determining if tank parameters are suitable for the type of fish you are keeping or resolving problems with water quality. Regular testing will give you a visual guide to tank health and how effective filtration is.

When keeping low pH and soft water species regular testing is essential to ensure that that total loss of hardness does not occur and a crash in pH can cause loss of the whole tank. Low range testing is recommended with the use of CO2

Higher range test kits offer increased accuracy and are more suited for testing where the local water has a naturally high pH or where you are keeping fish that prefer hard water conditions such as Rift lake chiclids. For many species managing the correct pH is import for their optimum health and vigour. In these circumstances we recommend regular testing and adjust of the aquarium water to keep conditons optimal.
