Salt & Fresh Water Use
Water MUST be tested regularly to maintain GOOD WATER QUALITY.
Helps to determine if POND is CYCLING
Helps easily MONITOR fluctuating levels of:
- NITRATE which can stimulate unwanted algae growth
- NITRITE which can be harmful to fish
Nitrate/ Nitrite test strips give you the ability to know when a water change is needed in your aquarium or pond. Nitrite/ Nitrate test strips are fast and easy to use, with no wet or hazardous chemicals.
FRESHWATER: Dip one test strip into water sample for 2 seconds. Remove and hold level, do not shake. Wait 1 minute and match to best color on the color chart. Complete matching within 15 seconds.
SALTWATER: Dip one test strip into the water sample for 2 seconds. Remove and hold level, do not shake. Wait 1 minute and match Nitrite (second pad) to best color on the color chart. At 2 minutes match NITRATE (first pad) to best color on the color chart. Complete all matching within 15 seconds.
NITRATE/NITRITE test strips give you an indication of your nitrate/nitrite concentrations which can build up in your aquarium or pond due to uneaten food, waste, bacteria, and oxidation. Nitrate/Nitrite test strips also inform you when the levels have become potentially harmful and a water change is needed. |
