A high nitrate concentration can result in unwanted algae-growth and these might irritate corals in their neighbourhood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNitrate as such also impedes coral growth. The nitrate concentration in a proper functioning reef aquarium should preferably be lower than 1 mg\/L. Fish-only aquariums would usually show much higher nitrate concentrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost test kits use a procedure in which a certain part of nitrate is converted chemically into nitrite and is measured as such. Once again, just as with nitrite testing, amine interference has a major impact on the measured value. If such an interference occurs concentrations much lower than actual will be measured.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConclusion:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany nitrate test kits are prone to amine interference. This can give results much lower than actual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Salifert nitrate test does not suffer from such an amine interference. The very special ingredients allow a very fast and precise measurement. The range spans from very low to a very high nitrate concentration (approx. 0.05 – 20 mg\/L as Nitrate-Nitrogen or 0.2 – 100 mg\/L as nitrate ion).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit can perform approx. 60 measurements.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Salifert","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46714256031896,"sku":"8714079130385","price":21.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/0950\/9016\/files\/nitrate.jpg?v=1750272172","url":"https:\/\/thepetsource.ca\/products\/salifert-nitrate-profi-test-60-tests","provider":"The Pet Source","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
