Phosphate can enter your aquarium through tap water, fish waste, and decaying organics such as uneaten food and dead algae. Excess phosphate contributes to unsightly algae and green water blooms, and in saltwater, excess phosphate can inhibit the growth of hard corals. The API PHOSPHATE TEST KIT tests phosphate levels from 0 to 10 ppm so that you can easily monitor the condition of your aquarium water and may be used in both fresh and saltwater aquariums.

Use Instructions

To remove childproof safely cap: push down on cap while turning. 1. Fill a clean test tube with 5 ml of water to be tested (to the line on the tube). 2. Holding the bottle vertically, add 6 drops from Phosphate Test Solution #1. cap the test tube and shake vigorously for 5 seconds. 3. Now, holding the bottle vertically, add 6 drops from Phosphate Test Solution #2. Note: Test Solution N2 is a very thick solution and may require increased pressure to release drops. 4. Cap and shake the test tube vigorously for 5 seconds. 5. Wait 3 minutes for color to develop. 6. Read the test results by compering the color of the solution to the appropriate Phosphate Color Card (choose either Freshwater are Saltwater). The tube should be viewed in a well-lit area against the white area of the Card. The closest match indicates the ppm (mg/L) of total phosphate (P0,3-) in the water sample. Rinse the test tube with clean water after use.
