-Nitrite
-Nitrite is a compound that is formed during the nitrogen cycle in aquaponics and iAVs systems. It is produced when bacteria in the system convert ammonia, which is excreted by fish, into nitrite through a process called nitrification.
-Nitrite can be toxic to fish at high levels, so it is important to monitor nitrite levels in iAVs systems. In general, nitrite levels should be kept below 0.5 mg/L to ensure the health of fish. In iAVs systems, nitrite levels can be managed through a variety of methods.
-One common approach is to add non-iodized salt to the system at a rate of 0.5 kg per 1000 liters of fish tank capacity. This can help to reduce nitrite levels and promote healthy fish growth.
-Overall, monitoring and managing nitrite levels is an important aspect of maintaining water quality in iAVs systems. By keeping nitrite levels within safe limits, iAVs enthusiasts can create a sustainable and healthy environment for both fish and plants.
