{"product_id":"nt-labs-nitrite-test-kit-1","title":"NT Labs Nitrite Test Kit 1","description":"\u003ch3\u003eNT Labs Nitrite Test Kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"b\"\u003eThe NT Labs Nitrite Test Kit provides a simple, easy to use testing kit for\ndetermining Nitrite (NO2) levels in both ponds and freshwater aquariums. The\nNT Labs Nitrite Test Kit comes complete with test tube and liquid reagents to\nprovide accurate results for 40 tests. Nitrite is produced by the beneficial\nbacteria in the aquatic environment and filters as they break down the harmful\nwaste of Ammonia excreted by the fish. Nitrite can affect the health of fish\nbut is not as toxic as Ammonia. What is Nitrite? Nitrite is produced by\nbeneficial filtration bacteria as they break down the harmful waste Ammonia\nexcreted by the fish. Like Ammonia, it is not visible to the naked eye.\nAlthough it is not as toxic as Ammonia, Nitrite is still very damaging to the\nhealth of the fish. Nitrite itself is broken down into Nitrate, which is\npractically harmless to fish. What is the correct Nitrite level? There is no\noccasion where any Nitrite is tolerable in a pond or aquarium. A level of zero\nmg\/L (ppm) should be maintained at all times. What do I do if the Nitrite\nlevel is wrong? If 0.25 – 0.5 mg\/l (ppm) of Nitrite is found, then add NT Labs\nFilter Bugs for ponds or NT Labs Filter Starter for aquariums. If a level\nabove this is recorded, then a substantial water change is essential. Change\n25% of the water volume for 1 mg\/l (ppm) Nitrite and 50% for Nitrite levels\nabove this. If any level of Nitrite is detected use NT Labs Zeolite for ponds\nand NT Labs Aquarium Ammonia Remover for aquariums to remove Ammonia (and thus\nNitrite) from the water. If you do record a Nitrite level, then it is\nimportant to check other vital water quality parameters, especially pH and\nAmmonia.\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 40 Tests\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"NT Labs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41750862659784,"sku":"uk-B084Q5B99H","price":179.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0269\/1376\/7486\/products\/uk-B084Q5B99H.jpg?v=1650532830","url":"https:\/\/pawsplanetshop.com\/products\/nt-labs-nitrite-test-kit-1","provider":"PawsPlanet Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
