Salifert Freshwater Nitrate Test Kit

Salifert Freshwater Nitrate (NO3) Profi Test for the freshwater aquariums, provides fast and accurate results when used to test your water parameters.

Nitrates are harmful and undesirable chemical compounds in aquarium, resulting from a biological decomposition process that comes from fish or invertebrate waste substances such as feces, urine and excess food.  While fish are much better able to handle nitrate in their water than ammonia, too much nitrate can still be toxic.

1. Add 2ml of aquarium water into the test vial.
2. Add 4 drops of the NO3-1 to the test vial.
3. Swirl gently for 10 seconds.
4. Add 1 spoon of the NO3-2 powder to the test vial.
5. Swirl for 30 seconds.
6. Wait for 3 minutes before placing the test vial against the color chart.

Typical nitrate value to strive for should be within the range of 4 – 20mg/L of Nitrate.
