Are high nitrate levels harmful to fish?
High nitrate is harmful to fish, but is significantly less toxic than ammonia or nitrite. Effects of high nitrate levels are more gradual if parameters go untreated – fish will eventually lose their appetite and grow sluggish and inactive over time. High nitrate also contributes to rapid algae blooms in aquariums.
How often should I use API NITRATE TEST KIT?
Use API NITRATE TEST KIT weekly or bi-weekly to ensure your nitrate levels are safe for fish, or whenever you suspect you may have high nitrate levels in your tank.

I have thew full API test knit but was afraid it was not accurate since my nitrates were way too high but my LFS had different readings. My test kit is good as I come up with the same results. After watching 2 FLS test my water, I realized they were doing it wrong! Now I trust my own findings.

I have 3 aquariums that contain dirted, planted tanks. I need to test for the water levels to make sure the aquariums are biologically sufficient for both the plants and fish. This test kit is great and I really recommend it. I also like ordering from Chewy because the order comes fast and Chewy is a great company to deal with.

Accurate results, but one of the bottles broke the first day I used it when it only fell like 7 inches. replacement bottles aren't too cheap either.
