DescriptionThe Salifert Profi Test NO2 provides a precise way of detecting Nitrite levels in freshwater, seawater, osmosis water, or water from garden ponds. It is important to understand that Nitrite can still be present in an aquarium even after the initial cycling period has passed. This substance is highly toxic to fish and invertebrates, so it’s vital to keep track of its concentration. The nitrate produced by the cycle can eventually be converted into harmless nitrogen gas as part of a process involving denitrification. Such conversion occurs when oxygen-depleted areas within live rocks and filter materials are present. Nonetheless, if this pathway is disturbed for any reason, an accumulation of toxic nitrites may result and these can be easily detected by test kits without interference from amines.
