Nitrite Test Kit

Nitrites are toxic and should be tested once every several days in a new tank and once per week in established aquariums. Nitrites are the result of the oxidation of ammonia by nitrifying bacteria in the biofilter. Many fish, including catfish, botias, koi and goldfish, are very sensitive to increased nitrite levels and are much more likely to get infections when the nitrite level rises. Left unchecked, nitrite levels can peak at greater than 2.0 ppm concentrations, causing the tank to “crash” and all the animals to die. The Fritz Nitrite Test Kit has a long shelf life and easy-to-read chart, ensuring long term accurate testing. Includes instructions on decreasing nitrite spikes.

Test for nitrites every 2 weeks, except when tank does not appear to be in good shape, then test more often.

Each kit performs 200 tests
