Monitoring the amount of nitrite, a toxic nitrogen compound, on a weekly basis will help prevent the loss of fish. Regular testing will reveal problems before fish exhibit symptoms and help you take action to reduce associated stress and disease.

Testing nitrate levels will indicate the frequency with which certain maintenance activities are required and will also serve to prevent algae problems. Nitrate is a natural cumulative by-product of the nitrogen cycle and a major contributing factor in the growth of algae. Generally, the greater the bio load from sources such as fish population, decomposing plant remnants, and organic debris from pond surroundings, the faster the accumulation of nitrate.

With Laguna Nitrite/Nitrate Test Kit you get fast and accurate measurements to help you manage the levels in you pond water. The kit includes everything you need to conduct 75 tests: one 17 mL bottle of nitrite reagent #1, one 10 mL bottle of nitrite reagent #2, one 6.5 mL bottle of nitrate reagent #3, a test tube with cap, a pipette, a lab base, and an instruction leaflet.
