API® Phosphate Test Kit for Aquarium Water Testing

DESCRIPTION The API PHOSPHATE TEST KIT 150-Test Freshwater and Saltwater Aquarium Water Test Kit helps you to address water issues that may harm your pet fish. Use it in freshwater and saltwater aquariums to prevent excess algae, read phosphate levels, and keep your aquarium water safe and healthy for your fish.Features: Helps monitor and adjust pH and prevent invisible water problems that can be harmful to fish and coralsReads phosphate levels between 0-10 ppmPrevents excess and unsightly algae which can cause fish stress and inhibit the growth of hard coralsUse for weekly monitoring and when water or fish problems appear Includes: Contains one (1) API PHOSPHATE TEST KIT 150-Test Freshwater and Saltwater Aquarium Water Test Kit, including 2 bottles of testing solution, 2 color cards and 1 glass test tube with cap Intended Pet(s): FishProduct Dimensions: 2.75 in x 1.625 in x 5.125 inCapacity: 1 CTDirections: Phosphate enters your aquarium from fish and invertebrate waste and decaying organic matter, such as dead algae and uneaten fish food. Water treatment facilities may add phosphate to tap water to prevent pipe corrosion and reduce concentrations of heavy metals in drinking water. Some salt mixes also contain phosphates. Excess phosphate may lead to algae blooms. In saltwater aquariums, phosphate precipitates dissolved calcium and magnesium, inhibiting the growth of hard corals and other reef-building organisms. This test kit reads the total phosphate level in parts per million (ppm), which are equivalent to milligrams per liter from 0 - 10.0 ppm.
