Regular water testing is key to a healthy aquarium or pond. The JBL ProAquaTest Nitrite NO2 Water Test Kit includes everything required to determine the Nitrite level from <0.01 - 1.0mg/l using a colour change test and is suitable for both freshwater and saltwater use.

ProAquaTest Nitrite NO2 Water Test Kit contents: 1 x Nitrite Test Kit with approx. 50 tests, incl. 2 reagents, 2 glass vials with screw caps, syringe, comparator block and colour scale.

Why test for Nitrite?
Nitrite occurs when beneficial bacteria breakdown proteins and ammonia. It is normally then processed further into non-toxic nitrate as part of the nitrogen cycle which occurs during biological filtration. In aquarium and pond water nitrite levels should ideally be zero as levels above 0.4 mg/l are dangerous or even fatal for fish, this is because nitrite blocks the transport of oxygen in the blood. If high levels of Nitrite occur this can be remedied by partial water changes and the use of good bacteria starters, such as JBL Denitrol and JBL BactoPond.

Recommended Nitrite Values:

• Freshwater aquariums (community aquariums): 0-0.2 mg/l
• Lake Malawi/Lake Tanganyika aquarium: 0-0.2 mg/l
• Plant aquarium with few fish (aquascaping): 0-0.2 mg/l
• Marine aquarium: 0-0.2 mg/l
• Pond: 0-0.2 mg/l

You can analyse the water values you have measured in the JBL Online Laboratory free of charge and receive recommendations.
