The thus formed nitrate is transformed into harmless nitrogen gas (=denitrification). This happens in areas deprived of oxygen within live rock and miscellaneous filter materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore it can be transformed to nitrogen gas the nitrate is first converted back to nitrite. When for whatever reason this particular cycle cannot be completed, toxic nitrite can be present in significant concentration and readily be detected by test kits that do not suffer from amine interference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany nitrite test kits have the potency to suffer from amine interference resulting in toxic nitrite not being detected.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSalifert’s Nitrite test kit does not suffer from such an amine interference because very special ingredients are used.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese same ingredients also result in a full colour development within minutes. The developed colour is very intense making detection of even minute traces of nitrite easy. It probably is the most sensitive, accurate and fastest nitrite test kit available.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Salifert","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57074458984831,"sku":"733005","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/5420\/6079\/files\/salifert_nitrite_test_kit.jpg?v=1772674998","url":"https:\/\/finestaquatics.co.uk\/products\/salifert-nitrite-profitest-kit","provider":"Finest Aquatics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
