Highly accurate, the Tetra Nitrate Test Kit contains liquid reagent which work by changing the colour of a water sample in relation to the concentration of a given substance. You simply need to compare the colour of the sample to the easy-to-read colour chart.

Nitrate (NO₃)

• As part of the nitrogen cycle in your aquarium or garden pond, organic material that contains nitrogen such as fish excrements and uneaten food degrades and causes nitrite (NO₂) and finally nitrate (NO₃) to accumulate in the water.
• Nitrate in concentrations greater than 50 mg/l in aquaria and greater than 10 mg/l in garden ponds promote strong algae growth.
• If the nitrate concentration is too high, a partial water exchange should be carried out. In addition, good plant growth helps to reduce excess nitrate.
• Additional nitrate reduction in the aquarium can be achieved with Tetra Nitrate Minus (RC071 or 072), and in ponds by using either Coral Reef NO₂ & NO₃ Remover Media (MF603) or NT Barley Straw (YR018 or YR019).
• Always prepare the water with Tetra AquaSafe before or after you add new water to the aquarium or pond.
