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.

Indigo®Nitrite-nitrate test strips provide a fast, reliable way to monitor water quality in aquariums and aquaculture systems. Nitrite is highly toxic to fish even at low concentrations, while nitrate buildup can fuel algae growth and stress aquatic life. These simple dip-and-read strips let you track nitrogen cycle stability, evaluate filter performance, and safeguard fish tank environments without the need for complicated liquid test kits. Ideal for hobbyists and aquaculture professionals, they support proactive water management and healthier aquatic ecosystems.

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.

Tips for Best Results

  • Test water regularly, especially after feeding, water changes, or equipment adjustments.
  • Dip the strip only briefly and compare against the color chart promptly.
  • For best accuracy, test at the same time of day to track trends.
  • Pair results with ammonia testing for a complete nitrogen cycle profile.

Specifications
  • Nitrate is measured in increments of 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, & 500ppm
  • Nitrite is measured in increments of 1, 5, 10, & 25ppm
  • The number of strips (50) per vial is approximate.
  • These strips are extremely sensitive to airborne humidity. Reseal the desiccant lined bottle immediately after removing a strip to ensure 3 year shelf life.
