Why Test for Nitrite?
Nitrite is a by-product of the nitrification process and can be harmful if it is not managed properly. Because of the salt in the water, nitrite is much less toxic to marine organisms than it is to freshwater animals. In a well-established marine aquarium, filtration bacteria process nitrite as quickly as it is produced. Any nitrite showing up is therefore a sign that the equilibrium of the aquarium has been disrupted. Testing regularly lets you assess the health of your system and act before a problem takes hold.

• Marine aquariums housing fish and marine invertebrates
• New and established saltwater set-ups where nitrite needs to be monitored
