The Salifert Nitrate Test Kit measures extremely dangerous nitrate levels that accumulate in oxygen-deprived spaces. High nitrate levels can lead to unwanted algae growth and damage to corals.
The ideal nitrate concentration in a healthy reef system should be less than 1 mg/L, but fish-based aquariums can display significantly higher concentrations. Additionally, the unit is capable of detecting both small and large nitrate concentrations.
Unlike other nitrate testers, the Salifert Nitrate Test Kit is unaffected by the presence of amines. It contains ingredients that provide accurate and immediate readings..
