Nitrite

[jagan314]

I also look at water quality, smell, fish activity.. I've gotten really good at judging this through the years... but if you asked I couldn't tell you what my ppm were.. or that the nitrates are too high.. I judge by the health of my fish.

Thank you Taherrman4.. I'm going to order that I think.. anyone else have a recommendation.. And Taherrman4, is this pretty accurate and easy to use? And you all can all me "john" if thats easier.

John very easy to use takes about 15 minutes for everything. You only have 4 test tubes so you have to wash them out to do all the tests, but no big deal.

Same kit I use, for the money one of the best on the market. there are better ones that are more accurate but they can cost many times more! I also use the GH and KH tests they offer. They run about $10 each and are very useful for finding out if the Hardness is dropping so you can adjust before the PH starts fluctuating.
