Quotes
“Nitrite can be tested in the field, which is great because not everything can be.” – James McDonald
“To convert from Nitrite to Sodium Nitrite, you multiply Nitrite by 1.5; that’s a big multiplier. So if you’re not talking apples to apples, you’re talking apples to oranges, and you may be out of range and not know it.” – James McDonald
“Having too low of?Nitrite?levels can be worse than no?Nitrite?in the system because of the pitting that can occur.” – James McDonald
“Nitrite can be bug food. Do some tests and make a plan.” – James McDonald
