Recommended Posts

I've never used to check for my NO2 before but lately there has been some imbalances in my tank

Like to check with those who have used the NO2 testkit before.... How do you read it?

The readings in the instructionsl as below:

ppm Nitrite

0.1 (too high)

0.2

0.4 (danger)

1.0

2.0

4.0

I'm abit confused on why the instructions is saying that 0.1 ppm Nitrate is too high i.e. extremely dangerous and 4.0 is ok?

Anyone can help?

Thanks!

BTW Should be nitrite hor, not nitrate.

Just get nitrite to zero.
