| Tetra Water Test Kits enable you to monitor your pond's water. Pond water quality may cause fish to behave unnaturally, stunt growth, display poor coloration, and make them more susceptible to disease. Plants may fail to grow or become discolored. Tetra Pond Test Kits allow the pond keeper to easily and accurately detect and correct water quality problems before they adversely affect your fish or plants.
Nitrite is produced from the breakdown of ammonia in the filter. Nitrite is highly toxic to fish, but is usually removed from the water by the bacteria which live inside the filter. However, in new ponds, or if the filter bacteria are damaged, the nitrite level may become toxic. The only way to know what the nitrite level is, is by testing. Regular testing, especially in new ponds, will prevent damage caused by nitrite poisoning. |
