Tetra Test O2, to Measure the Aquarium and Pond Oxygen Value Reliably and Precisely,9 ml (Pack of 3)

Product Information

Nitrite is created during the natural nitrogen cycle and is a by-product of the breakdown of ammonia. Therefore, the best ways to reduce nitrite levels are to simply reduce overall ammonia and waste levels in the pond. During the first 4-6 weeks of start-up, ammonia levels can rise to 1.0 ppm or higher. Reduce feeding for several weeks until the ammonia drops to zero. Nitrite The Dr Meter Electronic pH Tester is an excellent choice for the most precise pH measurement in your pond. It is highly accurate, with a 0.01 pH resolution and measurements to two decimal places. The Nutrafin Liquid GH & KH Test Kit is our recommendation for measuring general hardness (GH) and carbonate hardness (KH) parameters reliably.

You can take appropriate corrective action by spotting any imbalances or variations in these metrics. While keeping your pond’s inhabitants in good health. 3. Early Issue Detection and Disease Avoidance With that said, this pond test kit is one of the easiest to use for a beginner and also provides very good all-round results. Ammonia, Nitrite, and Phosphate are important and results are easy to read, and the wide range pH test should be more than sufficient for most types of ponds.Yet this thing called DO for short, is vital to the life and well-being of any pond and if you have fish, it’s critical. Fish, as you probably guessed, are not air breathers like those of us of the mammalian persuasion. Fish have gills which work to extract dissolved oxygen from the water and they’re generally pretty efficient at this work if a fish is healthy. While the pH test has a wide range and may not provide pinpoint accuracy, it still offers a good indication. The NT Labs PondLab Water Test Kit Can a Pond Have Too Much Oxygen? Tiny bubbles on the pond’s surface may indicate excess DO levels. Michael Knapek / CC BY 2.0
