Why Choose HI781
The HI781 is perfect for reef aquariums, where low nitrate levels are critical for coral health. Excess nitrate can lead to algae and dinoflagellate growth, while insufficient nitrate can cause coral starvation and loss of color. The HI781 provides quick, accurate, and reliable results, making it the ideal choice for marine hobbyists and professionals alike.
