Nitrate Profi-Test

When there are insufficient areas of a tank which are deprived of oxygen (anaerobic zones) or denitrification is not taking place properly, nitrate will build up. This can also happen in an aquarium where the biological loading on the system is causing an imbalance e.g. if there is excessive livestock for the aquarium volume or over feeding is occurring.
The build up of nitrate can result in unwanted algae growth and the slowing down of coral growth.
The nitrate concentration in a reef aquarium should be lower than 1 mg/L, although fish only aquariums would usually have a higher concentration.
Just as with nitrite, many nitrate test kits are prone to amine interference which can make the levels of nitrate appear much lower than they actually are.
The Salifert test kit does not suffer from such interference and gives accurate and quick results with a total testing time of less than 3 minutes.
The test kit’s range goes from a very low to a very high nitrate concentration (approx. 0.2 - 100 mg/L as total nitrate).
Sufficient for 50 tests.

This test offers two ranges:
Low range: 0.2 - 10 mg/L (ppm) as nitrate.
Medium range: 2 - 100 mg/L (ppm) as nitrate.

Clean test vial and scoop after use. Store this kit in a dry place.

Warning!

KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

Test Results by DAVE ADLFINGER

Experience Level: Expert

Posted on 9/6/2007 from TINLEY PARK, IL UNITED STATES

Comments: Not a bad test kit. But for the price, I was expecting a little more accurate results. The problem is its like the cheap tests, test the water and match it up against a chart with different shades of color. Problem being, the charts colors are so close you could be at .5 or .25 (for example) and not really now. Better than most though.
Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

salifert nitrate by ART HEATON

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 4/22/2008 from SMITHFIELD, VA UNITED STATES

Comments: It's a shame that these test kits are becoming so hard to obtain---I tried this one because others that I have used are so difficult to read, esp. in the lower ranges. This kit is very easy and appears to be super accurate-also goes for Calcium and alkalinity kits. I am now replacing all test kits with Salifert when possible.
Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
