Directions:
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.
