Salifert Test Kit Nitrite (NO2) Profi Test
Salifert Nitrite (NO2) Profi Test for saltwater aquariums, provides fast
and accurate results when used to test your water parameters.
Many
nitrite test kits suffer from interference caused by amines e.g.
naturally occurring and essential amino acids. This can result in a too
low measured value, especially when the nitrite concentration is
relatively low.
Because of its unique formulation, the Salifert
Test Kit does not suffer from amine interference, and offers full color
development within one minute. Also, the color is very intense making
the detection of even minute traces of nitrite easy.
In a
properly cycled aquarium, nitrite is converted to nitrate and then, if
there are areas deprived of oxygen such as in live rock and other filter
materials, this nitrate is converted back to nitrite and then
transformed into harmless nitrogen gas.
If this cycle breaks down then nitrites, which are extremely toxic to fish and invertebrates, can form in high concentration.
