The HI781 Marine Nitrate Low Range Colorimeter is a simple, accurate, and cost-effective way to measure nitrate from 0.00 to 5.00 ppm (as NO3–) in your saltwater aquarium. For samples containing 5.0 to 50.0 ppm nitrate, follow the approved dilution procedure.. With a digital read out, there is no more struggling to determine colors visually.
Nitrate is a by-product of the Nitrogen cycle. Excessive amounts of nitrates in a reef aquarium can promote the growth of undesirable organisms including algae and dinoflagellates while insufficient amounts can lead to starvation in which SPS and other corals will show signs including the loss of color and paleness.
Features
- For use with saltwater samples

Specifications
-
Range: 0.00 to 5.00 ppm (as NO3–) | 0.0 to 50.0 ppm (calculated) using dilution
-
Resolution: 0.01 ppm
-
Accuracy: ±0.25 ppm ±2% of reading @ 25 °C (77 °F) | ±2.5 ppm ± 5% of calculated reading using dilution
