Why Test Nitrate?

Nitrate is the end result of biological filtration in an aquarium. High nitrate concentrations encourage the growth of undesirable algae, so regular testing helps you keep an eye on levels before they become a problem. For reef aquariums, the recommended nitrate level is 2-5 mg/L (ppm).
