Monitor aquarium and aquaculture water quality with Indigo® Nitrite-Nitrate test strips. These simple tools can detect toxic nitrite and nitrate buildup to protect fish health and biofiltration balance.
Nitrite and nitrate are critical indicators of biological filtration performance and nitrogen cycle stability in aquariums and aquaculture systems. Indigo® Nitrite–Nitrate Test Strips provide a fast, dependable way to detect toxic nitrite accumulation and rising nitrate levels before they harm fish, invertebrates, or biofilters. The simple dip-and-read format allows routine monitoring of freshwater and marine systems without liquid reagents or complex test kits, supporting stable, well-managed aquatic environments.
We've been selling nitrate-nitrite test strips since 2009. Buy fully documented Indigo® nitrate-nitrite test strips, 50 strips/vial. Guaranteed 3 year shelf life (dated back from expiration date "yyyy.mm.dd").
| Discipline | Learning Outcomes / Key Features |
|---|---|
| Marine & Aquatic Biology | Understand the nitrogen cycle in aquatic ecosystems (ammonia → nitrite → nitrate). Recognize how nitrate accumulation affects fish health, algal blooms, and eutrophication. |
| Environmental Science | Apply test strips to monitor nutrient runoff and water quality in streams, rivers, and lakes. Link nitrate levels to agricultural impact and ecosystem balance. |
| Chemistry Education | Illustrate principles of redox chemistry: nitrate reduction to nitrite. Demonstrate rapid colorimetric testing and interpretation of concentration ranges. |
| Aquaculture & Fish Health | Learn best practices for water monitoring in commercial fish tanks and aquaculture systems. Prevent nitrite toxicity (brown blood disease) and maintain safe nitrate levels. |
