Freshwater filtration, nitrogen cycle chemistry, fish nutrition and heater accuracy.

Nora Whitfield

Nora Whitfield writes most filter and heater reviews at fishgoo and signs off on every published score. Tests begin with cycling the tanks and logging ammonia, nitrite and nitrate until each tank can process 2 ppm ammonia in 24 hours. Flow measurements are taken on specified test days, while heater accuracy is checked against a calibrated data logger over seven days. Nora's editorial work connects freshwater filtration, nitrogen cycle chemistry and heater performance with these bench procedures, with fish nutrition also within the professional remit.

How I test

Nora Whitfield runs the filter and heater benches, cycling every test tank with ammonium chloride. Ammonia, nitrite and nitrate are logged until the tank can process 2 ppm ammonia in 24 hours, at which point the clock starts. Flow is measured with a graduated bucket and stopwatch on days 1, 14 and 42. Heater accuracy is checked against a calibrated data logger every 30 minutes for seven days.
