The sera Nitrate (NO3) Test Kit is a professional-grade chemical diagnostic kit designed to measure nitrate accumulation in freshwater and saltwater systems. As the final stage of the nitrogen cycle, nitrate is less toxic than ammonia or nitrite but causes algae outbreaks and coral growth stunting when present in high concentrations. This comprehensive kit contains all necessary reagents, reactant powders, a glass test vial, and an easy-to-use color scale to monitor and manage nutrient accumulation in your aquarium.
Key benefits:
Essential Nutrient Tracking: Measures nitrate buildup to help you optimize water change schedules and nutrient exporting equipment.
Accurate Colorimetric Scale: Provides a wide-range color comparison chart that clearly indicates nitrate values from safe levels to critical thresholds.
Prevents Algae Outbreaks: Helps you monitor nitrogen spikes before they cause problematic hair algae or cyanobacteria blooms.
Supports Sensitive Corals: Ideal for reef systems where keeping nitrate levels low is vital for coral calcification and color preservation.
Complete Test Package: Includes all liquid reagents, testing powder, a measuring spoon, and a glass vial for immediate use.
Specifications:
Volume: 15 ml Reagent bottles plus reactant powder
Form: Liquid reagents and powder catalyst
Primary purpose: Determining nitrate (NO3) levels in freshwater and saltwater
Water type: Freshwater and Saltwater
Intended users: Planted tank aquarists, reef keepers, and fish breeders
Suggested use:
Testing Protocol: Rinse the glass vial with aquarium water. Fill with 20 ml (or 10 ml for high ranges) of sample water.
Addition: Add the designated drops of liquid reagents and a scoop of reactant powder as specified in the manual.
Development: Shake vigorously for 30 seconds and let sit for 5 minutes before matching the color with the colorimetric chart.
Ingredients:
Water, hydrochloric acid solution, zinc-based reducing powder catalyst, chemical indicators.
Guaranteed Analysis:
Nitrate Test Kit Components: 100%
Storage and safety:
Store in a dry, dark place out of reach of children and pets.
Keep all bottles tightly capped.
Warnings:
For aquarium use only. Do not swallow.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Wear protective gear during testing.
What’s included:
3 x Liquid Reagents (15 ml each)
1 x Tube of Catalyst Reactant Powder
1 x Measuring Spoon
1 x High-Quality Glass Test Vial
1 x Wide-Range Color Chart
Why choose:
Unseen nitrate accumulation is a primary cause of mysterious coral tissue loss and persistent nuisance algae. The sera Nitrate Test Kit gives you the clear data you need to manage your water chemistry, adjust carbon dosing, or optimize refugium filtration. Simple to perform and easy to read, it takes the guesswork out of maintaining low-nutrient aquarium systems.
