Test Kit Nitrate/Nitrite 0-20ppm
Test Kit Nitrate/Nitrite (Colour Card) 0-20ppm
A 0-20ppm Nitrate/Nitrite colour card test kit is used for rapid, visual monitoring of water quality in freshwater/saltwater aquariums, ponds, and aquaculture, typically in [15-60 seconds](0.4.1, 0.4.4, 0.4.10). It measures toxic nitrite (NO2−𝑁𝑂−2) and nitrate (NO3−𝑁𝑂−3) levels to ensure they remain within safe ranges, helping with cycle troubleshooting,,,routine maintenance, and health safety.
Test Kit Nitrate/Nitrite 0-20ppm
Key Uses:
Aquarium Cycling & Maintenance: Essential for monitoring the nitrogen cycle in new setups or troubleshooting high-nitrite/nitrate issues in established tanks.
Fish Health Safety: Detects dangerous nitrogen buildup (NO2>0.5ppm 𝑁𝑂2>0.5ppm, NO3>20ppm𝑁𝑂3>20ppm), which can cause suffocation or poor health in aquatic life.
Water Quality Testing: Used for checking drinking water, wells, ponds, and aquaculture to ensure safety.
Industrial Applications: Used to measure nitrogen levels in cooling recirculating water systems.
How to Use (Typical Procedure):
Collect Sample: Fill the test tube/vial with the water sample (e.g., 5ml).
Add Reagent: Add the specified number of drops (reagents) to the sample and shake, or dip the test strip.
Develop: Wait for the required time (usually 3-5 minutes) for the color to develop.
Compare: Match the colour of the sample to the provided colour chart under good lighting.

Common Ranges:
Nitrite (NO2𝑁𝑂2):
Target is 0 ppm. Levels above 0.25–0.5 ppm are generally dangerous.
Nitrate (NO3𝑁𝑂3):
Generally kept below 20-50 ppm for freshwater, lower for sensitive marine/reef tanks (<10 ppm).
