NT Labs Nitrate Test
The NT Labs Nitrate Test is a vital tool for any aquarist looking to maintain a healthy, algae-free aquarium. Nitrate is produced by the beneficial bacteria in the water and filters as they break down the fish’s toxic waste products (ammonia and nitrite). Nitrate is not typically toxic to fish, but excessively high levels (>100mg/l) can cause problems with growth.
Using the NT Labs Nitrate test, you can easily monitor nitrate levels and take action before they become a problem. High nitrate levels will lead to algal growth. A nitrate level of zero is ideal and implies a balance between waste produced by the fish and nutrients taken up by the plant life. Remember: this plant life does include algae.
Performing the test is simple and straightforward. After collecting a 5 ml water sample in the clean test tube, Add 6 drops of the Nitrate-1 and 6 drops of the Nitrate-2, cap the tube, and gently mix. Let it develop for 10 minutes, then compare the resulting colour to the chart provided. The NT Labs Nitrate Test delivers fast, reliable results, making it a valuable addition to your aquarium care toolkit.
