Nitrite (NO2) is the second stage of the nitrogen cycle and the one that catches people out. Ammonia gets the attention, but nitrite spikes a week or two later as the filter is still establishing, and it does its damage quietly: it binds to koi blood and prevents oxygen being carried, so fish suffocate in water that tests fine for oxygen.

Reads 0 to 5 ppm in pond water, 180 tests per kit. Watch nitrite closely on a new pond, after a filter clean, and any time you have dosed a treatment that may have set the bacteria colony back.
