Salifert Phosphate PO4 Test Marine Aquarium 60 Tests

The Salifert phosphate test detects 0.015 mg/L of phosphate in a matter of seconds.

This makes phosphate measurement highly reliable and informative, and allows appropriate action to be taken as quickly as possible.

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%.

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.
