Sera Nitrite-Minus - 100mL (32300)
Immediate help against nitrite
- removes up to 1.5 mg/l of nitrite per dosage
- prevents new tank syndrome
Accumulating nitrite ("new tank syndrome") is a threat during the starting phase of a new aquarium, after a disease treatment or a filter change, since insufficient filter bacteria are present for breaking down toxic nitrite to the plant nutrient nitrate. A nitrite level of 1.0 mg/l can already be harmful for the fish. sera Nitrite-minus provides quick help in case of acute pollution and immediately removes up to 1.5 mg/l nitrite per dosage. It converts toxic nitrite into organic amines that are then utilized by bacteria. sera Nitrite-minus is very well tolerated by ornamental fish, invertebrates and plants, and can be dosed up to 5-fold.
- removes up to 1.5 mg/l of nitrite per dosage within shortest time
- prevents new tank syndrome and provides immediate help in case of acute pollution
- binds nitrite and converts it into organic amines that are utilized by the filter bacteria
Advice: The amount of nitrite in the aquarium water can be checked with the sera nitrite-test (NO2) or the sera Quick Test.
What is a new tank syndrome, when does it occur and what can I do against it? We will answer these and further questions in our contribution "What you should know about the new tank syndrome".
New tank syndrome course with and without Nitrite-minus
The following chart provides an overview for evaluating the nitrite levels and when measures should be taken:
| NO2 | Evaluation | Measures |
|---|---|---|
| 0.0 mg/l | good | - |
| >0 - 0.5 mg/l | action required | dose sera bio nitrivec |
| 0.5 mg/l | critical | possibly dose sera Nitrite-minus (1-fold dosage) |
| 1.0 mg/l | harmful | dose sera Nitrite-minus (1- fold dosage) |
| 2.0 mg/l | dangerous | dose sera Nitrite-minus (possibly 2- fold dosage) |
| 5.0 mg/l | toxic | dose sera Nitrite-minus (possibly 4- fold dosage) |
