Nitrite (NO2-) and nitrate ions (NO3-) are formed from ammonium (NH4+) as part of the nitrification process. Nitrite, which is highly poisonous to freshwater species, is produced in the first stage of the bacterial process. If the nitrification process works, nitrite is converted to nitrate in the second stage.

  • t is advisable to keep the nitrate concentration in freshwater aquariums below 50 mg/l (ppm), whereas the concentration should not exceed 20 mg/l (ppm) in saltwater applications
  • Higher concentrations of nitrate in saltwater aquariums will end up inhibiting the growth of delicate corals
  • A danger posed by high nitrate content for all aquariums is the strong boost it provides to algae growth
  • Shelf life and storage: 6 months after opening. Store in a cool, dark place
  • As a general rule, the nitrite concentration should be less than 0.2 mg/l (ppm) in all aquariums wherever possible
