API Nitrate Test Kit

High nitrate levels in your aquarium indicate a build-up of fish waste and organic compounds, resulting in poor water quality and an increase in algae growth. Contrarily, maintaining a low nitrate level improves the health of fish and invertebrates.

Use the API Nitrate Test Kit to ensure that the nitrate levels in your tank are safe and healthy for your fish.

Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate are the 3 stages of the Nitrogen Cycle.
Each stage is toxic to aquatic life and if left untreated will lead to fatalities.

Ammonia (the 1st stage) is broken down by bacteria and converted into Nitrite which is then converted in its last stage to Nitrate.
