Toxic nitrite is produced by nitrifying bacteria in the biological filter as it breaks down ammonia. This kit tests for harmful nitrite and measures levels from 0 to 5.0 ppm.

Why Test For Nitrite?
Nitrite (NO2-) is produced in the aquarium/pond by the biological filter. Beneficial bacteria in the biological filter convert ammonia into nitrite. The biological filter then converts nitrite into nitrate (NO3-). Nitrite in the aquarium
pond is toxic; it will prevent fish from carrying on normal respiration, and high levels will quickly lead to fish death. Even trace amounts of nitrite stress fish, suppressing their immune system and increasing the likelihood
of disease. Too many fish, as well as uneaten fish food
and decomposing plants and other organic matter can cause excessive nitrite levels. Water should be tested for nitrite every other day when the aquarium/pond is first set up, and once a week after the biological filter has
been established (in about 4 - 6 weeks).
Testing Tips
This test kit reads total nitrite (NO2-) level in parts per million (ppm) which are equivalent to milligrams per liter (mg/L) from 0 - 5.0 ppm (mg/L).
Directions
To remove childproof safety cap: With one hand, push red tab left with thumb while unscrewing cap with free hand.
1. Fill a clean test tube with 5 ml of water to be tested (to the line on the tube).
2. Add 5 drops of Nitrite Test Solution, holding dropper bottle upside down in a completely vertical position to assure uniformity of drops.
3. Cap the test tube and shake for 5 seconds.
4. Wait 5 minutes for the color to develop.
5. Read the test results by comparing the color of the solution to the Nitrite Color Card. The tube should be viewed in a well-lit area against the white area of the card. The closest match indicates the ppm (mg/L) of nitrite in the water sample.
Rinse the test tube with clean water after use.
What the Test Results Mean
In new aquariums/ponds the nitrite level will gradually climb to 5 ppm (mg/L) or more. As the biological filter becomes established, nitrite levels will drop to 0 ppm (mg/L). In an established aquarium, the nitrite level should always
remain at 0; any level above 0 can harm fish. The presence of nitrite indicates possible over-feeding, too many fish, or inadequate biological filtration.
Reducing Aquarium Nitrite Levels
Add API NITRA-ZORB to the aquarium filter to remove nitrite from freshwater aquariums. Making partial water changes can also help reduce nitrite, especially if the initial level is very high. Use API STRESS ZYME to help speed
the development of the biological filter. Adding API AQUARIUM SALT will reduce nitrite toxicity to fish while the biological filter is removing the nitrite.
Reducing Pond Nitrite Levels
Make sure adequate oxygenation and surface agitation are provided. If the nitrite level exceeds 0.50 ppm, begin making water changes (25%) every 2 days until nitrite drops to 0.25 ppm or less. Even a low level of nitrite can cause
severe stress to pond fish, leading to disease outbreaks and fish death. To reduce the harmful effects of nitrite, add PondCare POND SALT as directed. POND SALT will also add the natural electrolytes fish lose in times of stress.
