But dying organisms or contaminated and unfiltered water can also lead to an increase in values.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhy is the determination of nitrate important?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Both an oversupply and an undersupply of nitrate can have negative effects on the animals you care for. Nitrate can be absorbed particularly easily by algae and can therefore lead to unwanted and excessive algae growth. This also applies to the zooxanthellae of your corals. Due to the increased nitrate concentrations, they begin to multiply quickly and compete directly with the coral for important substances and compounds. This ultimately leads to your corals growing more slowly and their tissue turning increasingly brown. Your nitrate concentration should ideally be in the range of 5 to 10 mg\/l.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eIf your nutrient concentrations exceed the specified values, you should take appropriate measures to reduce them. If, however, they are below the detection limit and your corals are already showing signs of deficiency, you should add nutrients.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Coralaxy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44796856467710,"sku":"52-006-30385","price":10.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/5345\/9454\/products\/8342.jpg?v=1710240068","url":"https:\/\/coralaxy.live\/en\/products\/salifert-nitrat-test","provider":"Coralaxy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
