This JBL test measures the nitrite (NO2) concentration in aquarium and garden pond water. Nitrite is toxic and typically builds up when the bacterial balance of a tank is disrupted or when a new aquarium is being set up, so keepers of any system that cycles or is newly established will find regular checks useful.
Why it matters
- Nitrite is toxic, and high concentrations are dangerous for fish, so the test shows whether levels stay within the safe range.
- It is recommended when a tank is fertilised with various plant fertilisers, since nitrite readings guide how much fertiliser to dose.
- Plants are also affected by both deficiency and excess of nutrients, so the reading helps keep the dosing balanced for the planted part of the system.
- One kit covers 50 individual tests, which allows regular monitoring over a long period.

Frequently asked questions
It measures the concentration of nitrite (NO2) in aquarium water. Nitrite is a toxic nitrogen compound that can appear when the bacterial balance is disturbed or when a new aquarium is being set up.
Nitrite can build up when the bacterial balance is disturbed, including during the first weeks of a new aquarium. High nitrite levels can be dangerous for fish, so checking the water is useful in those situations.
Yes, the manufacturer recommends it for aquariums dosed with fertilizers. The test results can help you choose appropriate fertilizer doses, since both too little and too much nitrogen compounds can harm plants.
The recommended nitrite value is 0–0.2 mg/l for freshwater community tanks, Lake Malawi and Tanganyika cichlid tanks, lightly stocked planted tanks (aquascaping), marine aquariums, and garden ponds.
One kit allows you to carry out 50 tests. Its net weight is 0.15 kg.
