While nitrite is converted to nitrate in properly cycled aquariums, it is a misconception that nitrite has necessarily vanished once a tank has completed its initial cycle after the first 3 or 4 weeks. The nitrate formed during this process may be transformed into harmless nitrogen gas through denitrification in oxygen-deprived areas of live rock and miscellaneous filter materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore nitrate is transformed into nitrogen gas, it is first converted back to nitrite. If this part of the cycle cannot be completed for any reason, toxic nitrite may be present in significant concentrations. Many nitrite test kits can be affected by amines, potentially producing a measured value that is too low, especially where nitrite concentration is relatively low. Salifert uses very special ingredients to avoid this amine interference and support clear, intense colour development for nitrite detection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy test for nitrite in an established marine aquarium?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNitrite may still be present even after the initial 3 or 4 week cycling period. If nitrate is not fully transformed into nitrogen gas during denitrification, it is first converted back to nitrite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan amines affect marine nitrite test results?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. Amines, including naturally occurring and essential amino acids, can interfere with many nitrite tests and result in a value that is too low. This Salifert kit is designed not to suffer from such interference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow quickly does the Salifert Nitrite Marine Test Kit develop colour?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe test delivers full colour development within minutes, with an intense developed colour intended to make minute nitrite traces easier to see.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many tests can this kit perform?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Salifert Nitrite Marine Test Kit can perform approximately 60 measurements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this test kit suitable for marine invertebrate aquariums?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes.
