: No, it will not remove nitrites or nitrates. I talked to the inventor last
: month. He said
: it is a line of BS from Kordon. What we have found out is that the product
: is interfering
: with the test kits giving false readings that it is gone, when it is
: actually still
: there.If you use other means for testing rather than the common kit, but
: more analytical
: means, such as a spectrophotometer, it is still there.

: "BTW - what are toxic levels of nitrite for living critters?"
:
: Quite high, much higher than you kit, as nitrite is basically non-toxic
: in seawater, as
: it has to compete with the chloride ion, which always wins. It has been a
: myth for decades
: that nitrite is much more toxic in SW than FW. It is much more toxic in
: FW.
