How to use

Prepare Sample — Accurately measure 5 ml of aquarium water using the provided syringe. Transfer this water into the test vial. Ensure the water sample is taken from the main display tank or sump, avoiding direct contact with substrate or decor.
Add Reagents — Add the specified number of drops of reagent 'A' and reagent 'B' to the water sample in the vial. Cap the vial and shake gently for about 30 seconds to thoroughly mix the reagents with the water. Avoid vigorous shaking that could create excess foam.
Develop and Read — Allow the solution to stand for the time specified in the instructions (usually a few minutes) for the color to develop fully. Compare the resulting color to the Salifert color chart to determine the nitrate concentration in ppm.
