 TetraPond Kits are both
reliable and accurate, using professionally designed methods to determine if your
water is safe for Koi Fish.
Nitrite is produced from the breakdown of
ammonia in the filter. Nitrite is highly toxic to fish, but is usually removed from
the water by the bacteria which live inside the filter. However, in new ponds, or if
the filter bacteria are damaged, the nitrite level may become toxic.
The
only way to know what the nitrite level is, is by testing the water with a TetraPond
Nitrite kit. Regular testing, especially in new ponds, will prevent damage caused by
nitrite poisoning. |
