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)
-
Rinse the vial with sample water; fill to the marked line.
-
Add Reagent A (per instructions), cap, and swirl.
-
Add Reagent B, swirl vigorously; wait the specified development time.
-
Compare the sample to the color chart/scale to read nitrate (ppm NO₃⁻).
-
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.
