JBL ProAquaTest NO3 Nitrate Refill
JBL ProAquaTest NO3 Nitrate Refill –
Right water values are dependent on the fish stock and the plants in the aquarium/pond. Even if the water looks clear it can be contaminated. With bad values diseases or algae can also appear in the aquarium/pond.
To maintain a healthy aquarium/pond with conditions close to nature it is important to check and also adapt the water values regularly.

- Determines the optimal nitrate value for perfect plant growth or possible cause of algae growth in freshwater & marine water
- Laboratory comparator system to compensate the inherent water colour: fill glass vials with sample water, add reagents to one vial, place vials in holder, read values off colour chart
- Use: when setting up a new freshwater aquarium: 1 x weekly. When setting up a new marine aquarium: 1 x weekly. With green algae problems
- You will find detailed information and troubleshooting tips about water analysis on the JBL website in Essentials/Aquarium or Pond
Why test? – Nitrate is the end product of mineralisation in the aquarium/pond. Even in relatively high concentrations it is non-toxic for fish, but has an adverse effect on plant growth and the well-being of several fish species.
Furthermore too high nitrate contents promote unwanted algae growth if phosphate is present in the water as well as nitrate.
Recommended nitrate values:
- Freshwater aquarium (community aquarium): 0-50 mg/l
- Lake Malawi/Lake Tanganyika aquarium: 0-50 mg/l
- Plant aquarium with few fish (aquascaping): 10-30 mg/l
- Marine aquarium: 0-20 mg/l
- Pond: 0-10 mg/l.
