The\nNT Labs Nitrate Test Kit comes complete with test tube and liquid reagents to\nprovide accurate results for 30 tests. Nitrate is produced by the beneficial\nbacteria in the aquatic environment and filters as they break down the fish's\ntoxic waste products, Ammonia and Nitrite. Nitrate is not typically toxic to\nfish, but excessively high levels can promote unwanted algae growth. What is\nNitrate? Nitrate is produced by the beneficial bacteria in the water and\nfilters as they break down the fish’s toxic waste products (Ammonia and\nNitrite). Unlike Nitrite, Nitrate is not typically toxic to fish, but\nexcessively high levels (\u0026gt;100mg\/l) can cause problems with growth. What is the\ncorrect Nitrate level? The level of Nitrate is dependent upon a number of\nfactors, including the Nitrate level of the tap water or spring water used for\nwater changes, the number of fish and the amount of food fed. High Nitrate\nlevels will lead to unwanted algae growth. A Nitrate level of zero is ideal\nand implies a balance between waste produced by the fish and nutrients taken\nup by the plant life. Just remember: this plant life does include algae. What\ndo I do if the Nitrate level is wrong? Maintenance of a zero level of Nitrate\nis extremely difficult. Most domestic water supplies have a low level of\nNitrate. The key to maintenance of low Nitrates is regular water changes to\ndilute the build up of Nitrate.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eSuitable for pond and aquarium use\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eEasy to use freshwater test kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eFast \u0026amp; accurate results\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eLiquid reagents\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eContains 30 Tests\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"NT Labs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41750888841416,"sku":"uk-B084Q62SVF","price":180.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0269\/1376\/7486\/products\/uk-B084Q62SVF.jpg?v=1650534419","url":"https:\/\/pawsplanetshop.com\/products\/nt-labs-nitrate-test-kit-1","provider":"PawsPlanet Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
