API Phosphate Test Kit (MPN 63L)

Phosphate can seep into the aquarium from various sources such as tap water, fish waste, and decaying organic matter like leftover food and dead algae. When there is an excess of phosphate, it can lead to the growth of unsightly algae and the formation of green water blooms. In saltwater environments, high levels of phosphate can also hinder the development of hard corals. The kit provided includes essential components for testing and assessing the phosphate levels in an aquarium. It comprises two bottles of liquid test reagent, two laminated color cards calibrated by a computer, a glass test tube with a secure snap-tight cap, and detailed instructions on how to conduct the test properly. Additionally, the kit also provides valuable information on how to rectify any unsafe conditions that may be identified through the testing process.
