HI781 NITRATES TEST – Low Range Checker for Marine Aquariums
The HI781 Nitrates Test by Hanna Instruments is a high-precision, handheld Checker for low nitrate levels in marine aquariums, offering professional-level accuracy in a compact and affordable format. Unlike traditional test kits relying on visual color matching, the HI781 uses a 525 nm LED light source and a silicon photocell detector to ensure repeatable and objective measurements.
With a measurement range of 0.00 to 5.00 ppm (NO₃⁻) and a resolution of 0.01 ppm, it is ideal for reef systems where even slight excesses of nitrate can impact coral health and encourage nuisance algae growth.
