ASF - Nitrate Test Kit

Overview

The ASF Nitrate Test Kit provides fast, reliable NO₃⁻ readings to help you manage nutrient levels for coral health and algae control. Stable nitrate supports balanced coloration and growth while preventing both starvation and excess.

Key Features

• Reef-focused range suitable for ultra-low to moderate nitrate

• Clear color development for easy, confident reads

• Quick workflow—complete a test in minutes

• Repeatable results with calibrated syringe/dropper

• Cost-effective with multiple tests per kit (usage dependent)

How to Use (Summary)

1. Rinse the vial with sample water; fill to the marked line.

2. Add Reagent A (per instructions), cap, and swirl.

3. Add Reagent B, swirl vigorously; wait the specified development time.

4. Compare the sample to the color chart/scale to read nitrate (ppm NO₃⁻).

5. Rinse vial and tools with fresh water after testing.

Target guidance: Many mixed reefs run ~2–10 ppm NO₃⁻ (some systems succeed slightly lower or higher). Adjust export/feeding and dosing to your goals.

Best Practices

• Test at the same time of day for consistency.

• Log results; re-test after water changes, media swaps, or dosing adjustments.

• If a reading seems off, run a control with freshly mixed saltwater.

• Keep reagents tightly capped; avoid cross-contamination of droppers and vial.
