Description
The Biological filtration is a method that uses naturally occurring nitrifying bacteria to detoxify nitrogenous wastes. One type of bacteria (
Nitrosomonas spp.
) converts ammonia to nitrite while another naturally occurring bacteria (
Nitrobacter spp.
) converts the nitrite into a far less harmful form of nitrogen waste:
nitrate
.
Nitrate is the final stage of the nitrification process. Many invertebrates, unlike fish, are not tolerable to high nitrate concentrations. As a result, it is extremely important to make sure that nitrate levels do not reach high levels.
In freshwater aquaria the optimal level of Nitrate should be
below
20 mg/lt. Values of over 75 mg/lt should be avoided at all costs.
In reef marine aquarium their level should not exceed
20mg/l
. A level of 10 mg/lt is the maximum for reef aquariums.
For these reasons, the periodical analytical valuation of nitrate in the aquarium water should be considered, specially during the aquarium set-up and, periodically, to avoid a too high level inside the water of our aquaria. Our kit allows the determination of the Nitrate level within a range of
5 – 75 mg/Lt
ELOS AquaTest NO3

Note:
if the NO3 value is too high, we recommend a partial water change. Periodical check on water quality can help to pinpoint causesof deviations in NO3 value and can prevent fish and invertebrates beingharmed.
