| Fluoride is one of the very few chemicals that have been shown to cause significant effects in people through drinking water. Fluoride has beneficial effects on teeth at low concentrations in drinking water, but excessive exposure to fluoride in drinking water, or in combination with exposure to fluoride from other sources, can give rise to a number of adverse effects. A 1994 World Health Organization expert committee suggested a level of fluoride from 0.5 to 1.0 ppm, depending on climate. Bottled water typically has unknown fluoride levels, and some domestic water filters remove some or all fluoride. | Light Source | LED @ 575 nm |

| Nitrification is the biological oxidation of ammonia (ammonium ion) into nitrite, followed by the oxidation of nitrite to nitrate. The first step of this two-step process is carried out in an aquarium by nitrifying bacteria. During this quick process, the ammonium levels drop while the nitrite levels increase. Since nitrite is just as harmful as ammonia, nitrite levels should be maintained at immeasurable levels. A mature biological filter should be able to keep nitrite levels low. | Light Source | LED @ 525 nm |
