One type of bacteria (Nitrosomonas spp.) converts ammonia to nitrite while another naturally occurring bacteria (Nitrobacter spp.)e nitrite into a far less harmful form of nitrogen wast converts the: nitrate. Nitrate is the final stage of the nitrify. 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 marine aquarium their level should not exceed 20 mg\/l. A level of 5-10 mg\/lt is the maximum for reef aquariums.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe NO3 reagent from ELOS, especially developed for fresh water and sea water aquarium, allows the determination of the Nitrate level with the help of a finely tuned colour scale which shows a range of 5 – 75 mg\/Lt\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57054822728011,"sku":"ELOS-NITRATE-TEST","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1033\/7065\/4027\/files\/460423588_1.jpg?v=1776426424","url":"https:\/\/krakencorals.co.uk\/products\/elos-nitrate-no3-test-kit","provider":"Kraken Corals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
