The Tetra Test Nitrate Water Test Kit is a simple to use testing kit for determining Nitrate (NO3) levels in freshwater aquariums, marine aquariums and ponds. The Tetra Nitrate Test Kit provides readings between 0 mg/l and  100 mg/l.

Organic nitrogenous substances in the water, such as fish excreta and food remains, are decomposed in various stages via the Nitrogen Cycle: from harmful Ammonia, into toxic Nitrite and finally into Nitrate. Nitrate is a plant nutrient which is nevertheless increasingly harmful to fish in concentrations exceeding 50 mg/l, and encourages tiresome algae growth.
