Sodium Nitrite (NaNO2)

Targeted support for complete nitrification

Sodium Nitrite is a specialist tool used to strengthen nitrite-oxidising bacteria and confirm full nitrification capacity. It is primarily used during commissioning, diagnostics, or biofilter recovery in fishless or expert-managed systems.

Used for:

• Balancing nitrification

• Preventing nitrite stalls

• Confirming biofilter readiness

Typical Application

• Fishless systems preferred

• Very small, measured doses only

• Continuous monitoring required

Indicative Dosage

• Applied typically as a one-off dose at inoculation with NMI+. Applied at a low concentration 1-3ppm for controlled nitrite loading
• If following up with ammonia chloride incremental dosing, it is unlikely you will need to a follow up dose of sodium nitrite

Critical Safety Information

• Nitrite is toxic to aquatic livestock at high enough quantities
• Not intended for routine use in stocked systems
• Use only with appropriate expertise

Best used with:

NMI+, Bloom, Ammonium Chloride and Carbonate Hardness Increaser – (kH) Generator
