API Nitrate Test Kit

API Nitrate Test Kit can detect high nitrate levels from 0-160 ppm (mg/L) in freshwater and saltwater that may lead to algae growth and poor fish health. Nitrate is produced in the aquarium by the biological filter. Beneficial bacteria convert toxic ammonia and nitrite into nitrate. High levels of nitrate indicates a build-up of fish waste and organic compounds resulting in poor water quality and contributing to the likelihood of fish diseases.
