Why Test for Nitrate?

Nitrate is the final product of the nitrification process, and it can accumulate in an aquarium over time. Left unchecked, it can affect coral health and contribute to algae problems. High nitrate levels can also stress marine life and upset the balance of the aquarium ecosystem.

Testing regularly helps you maintain coral and invertebrate health, control algae growth and keep overall water quality on track. Early detection means you can intervene sooner, keeping the aquarium clean, stable and conducive to the well-being of all its inhabitants.
