Nitrite is toxic; it restricts a fish's blood from carrying oxygen. Keeping Nitrite under control is very important. With the aid of this test kit you will help ensure your aquatic pets live long, happy, healthy lives.
Nitrite (NO2) is the result of the second step in the Nitrogen cycle where toxic Ammonia NH3) is broken down by nitrifying bacteria (Nitrosomonas) abd converted into Nitrite then further into Nitrate. Even in small concentrations Nitrite is lethal to aquatic animals robbing the fishes blood of oxygen, putting them under stress and leading to disease outbreaks or death.
The water chemistry in an established aquarium (6 months old or more) will be altered with all new additions, whether it be ornaments, new fish or corals. It is therefore essential to monitor Nitrite levels in your aquarium on a regular basis by the use of this test kit.
