Nitrite is formed in the first stage of the bacterial process. If nitrification is functioning properly, the nitrite is converted to nitrate in the second stage. In saltwater aquariums, elevated nitrate concentrations disrupt the growth of sensitive corals. A danger of high nitrate levels for all aquariums is that they strongly promote algae growth. In rare cases, nitrate deficiencies can also occur. Therefore, the nitrite and nitrate concentrations in the aquarium water should be checked regularly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eNitrite levels should generally be below 0.2 mg\/l in all aquariums. In saltwater aquariums, nitrate concentrations should not exceed 20 mg\/l. When caring for stony corals, nitrate levels should be below 10 mg\/l. Nitrate levels below 50 mg\/l are recommended for freshwater aquariums.
