A: Nitrite (NO2-) is produced in the aquarium by the biological filter. Beneficial bacteria in the biological filter convert toxic ammonia into nitrite (also toxic). The biological filter then converts nitrite into nitrate (NO3-). Testing for the presence of toxic nitrite is essential, so that once detected, steps can be taken to remove it. Otherwise, nitrite in the aquarium will prevent fish from carrying on normal respiration. High levels of nitrite quickly lead to fish death. Even trace amounts...

Comments: If you want anything near an accurate reading of copper, buy a different brand of test kit. Don't waste your money on this junk. I use API test kits for PH, Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate and after seeing how off this copper test kit is, I really have to wonder at the accuracy of API's other test kits as well. After dosing with Mardel's Copper Safe, exactly following their directions - 1 tsp. to 4 gals. of water, I tested my water. Dose should have given me 1.5 - 2.0 ppm copper. Test...

A: In a freshwater aquarium use APIs Nitra-ZorbT. Nitra-Zorb is a rechargeable filtration material that removes nitrate from freshwater. Making partial water changes can also help reduce the nitrate level, especially if the initial nitrate level is very high. However, because many tap water supplies contain nitrate, it can be difficult to lower nitrate levels by this method. APIs Tap Water Filter will remove all pollutants, including nitrate, from tap water, making water changes effective.

Copper, a common treatment for many parasitic infections, must be monitored in an aquarium or a pond. The copper level can drop too low for the treatment to be effective, or can increase to a point that is detrimental to fish health. Copper may even be present in your tap water. This kit allows you to easily and accurately monitor copper levels to maintain copper-based fish treatments at therapeutic levels.

Nitrate is the less toxic end product of Biological Filtration. High nitrate levels will stress both marine and freshwater fish, making them susceptible to infection. Excess nitrate is removed by partial water changes with nitrate-free water. The nitrate levels should be tested every week. This is especially important in the marine aquarium. In a reef aquarium the Nitrate Concentration should be kept below 20 ppm, but one should always strive for a zero reading, as all coral reef dwellers are...

The pH is a very important parameter in the biology of aquatic organisms. It is a measure of the acidity or basicity of the water. The scale runs from zero to 14. Zero is the most acidic, 7 is neutral and 14 is the most basic. A change of 1 pH unit, for example from 7 to 6, means that the water gets 10 times more acidic. Due to its chemistry, saltwater is able to absorb a certain amount of acidic matter without a resulting change in pH. The substances in the water that do this are called buffers...

Hagen Nutrafin Nitrite Test Kit for Fresh & Saltwater Aquariums
Testing the Nitrite level in your aquarium is essential for new aquarium set-ups, after medicating, when increasing fish population or in case of fish loss. Additionally, it will indicate if the biological filter is working efficiently or if nitrites are reaching levels that might be dangerous to your fish. Of course, pH levels should be tested as well but this test will indicate NH3/NH4 balance (ie. toxic and non-toxic ammonia components). This kit is for both freshwater and saltwater and contains...
