Salifert Nitrite Test Kit
The Salifert Nitrite Test Kit measures the extremely hazardous Nitrite levels that build up in aquariums due to an interference in the nitrogen cycle. Nitrites are typically converted into nitrates and removed throughout the nitrogen cycle, but when the cycle cannot be completed, these nitrites begin to build up and cause damage to the inhabitants of your tank.
Unlike other nitrate testers, the Salifert Nitrite Test Kit is not impacted by the presence of amines. Even the most minute traces of nitrite will be detected with a noticeable colour change to the testing kit.

I’ve used this test kit for several months and it’s been very reliable. The color change is clear and easy to read, even when nitrite levels are very low. It helped me catch a nitrite spike early and fix the nitrogen cycle issue before my fish were affected.
Cameron Ferguson –
This kit is much better than the ones I tried before. It doesn’t react to amines, which was a big problem with older testers. I can now monitor my tank more confidently and catch problems early.

The test is simple and gives a clear result. I noticed the color change even at very low levels, which is reassuring. It’s a small investment that pays off in terms of fish health.
