The Salifert phosphate test detects 0.015 mg\/L of phosphate in a matter of seconds.<\/p>\n
This makes phosphate measurement highly reliable and informative, and allows appropriate action to be taken as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n
If phosphate is present in the water, too high a concentration can increase the growth of undesirable algae, and if the phosphate level is greater than 0.04 mg\/L, the growth rate of corals and calcareous algae can decrease by up to 90%.<\/p>\n
Washing frozen fish feed (a rich source of phosphate) after thawing can significantly reduce phosphate input, and with a high concentration, activated carbon can also help keep phosphate levels as low as possible. The Salifert phosphate test detects 0.015 mg\/L of phosphate in a matter of seconds.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
MEASUREMENT INSTRUCTIONS<\/p>\n
– Add 10 ml of water to the test vial using the syringe.<\/p>\n
– Add 4 drops of PO4-1 reagent to this and shake the test vial gently for 10 seconds.<\/p>\n
– Add 1 level tablespoon of PO4-2 reagent to this and shake the contents gently for 30 seconds.<\/p>\n
– Place the opened test vial on top of the color shart on a white portion of the table, and compare the colors seen from the top.<\/p>\n
– Read the corresponding phosphate content.<\/p>\n
An intermediate color corresponds to an intermediate phosphate content.<\/p>\n
The values are for phosphate in the presence of ppm phosphate.<\/p>\n
If you prefer a ppm reading of Phosphorus then divide the reading by 3.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":12915,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"","site-sidebar-style":"","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[2220,960],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-12803","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-acuario","7":"product_cat-mascotas","8":"product_shipping_class-productos-1-5kg-328","9":"desktop-align-left","10":"tablet-align-left","11":"mobile-align-center","13":"first","14":"instock","15":"taxable","16":"shipping-taxable","17":"purchasable","18":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vaincatx.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/12803","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vaincatx.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vaincatx.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vaincatx.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12803"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/vaincatx.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/12803\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29598,"href":"https:\/\/vaincatx.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/12803\/revisions\/29598"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vaincatx.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12915"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vaincatx.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12803"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vaincatx.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=12803"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vaincatx.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=12803"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vaincatx.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=12803"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
