Salifert Nitrite Test Kit
Nitrite is a harmful substance that can be toxic to both fish and invertebrates in your aquarium. While many believe that nitrite disappears after a tank completes its initial cycle (typically within the first 3 to 4 weeks), it can still persist at dangerous levels under certain conditions.
Many conventional nitrite test kits are prone to interference from amines—naturally occurring compounds like amino acids—leading to inaccurate, often lower, readings, especially when nitrite concentrations are relatively low.
In a well-cycled aquarium, nitrite is converted into nitrate, which is then broken down into harmless nitrogen gas through a process called denitrification. This occurs in oxygen-deprived zones such as within live rock or other filter materials. However, in some cases, this cycle may not be completed, leading to the accumulation of toxic nitrite, which many standard test kits may fail to detect due to amine interference.
