ASKOLL TEST PO4


Kit consisting of:

  • 1 graduated test tube
  • 1 10 ml bottle of PO4 reagent 1
  • 1 10 ml bottle of PO4 reagent 2
  • 1 blue container of phosphate analysis powder
  • 1 measuring spoon for powder

The Phosphate Danger

A high concentration of Phosphates promotes the proliferation of algae. In freshwater aquariums, Phosphates should not exceed a concentration of 0.5 mg/L. In marine aquariums, the concentration of Phosphates should remain below 0.1 mg/L.


What are they

Phosphates mainly derive from uneaten food, from the decomposition of organic waste (plants, fish, excrement) and can also be present in tap water.


Procedure

1. Rinse the test tube several times with the water to be analyzed.

2. Fill the test tube with 10 mL of water to be analyzed.

3. Add 5 drops of the PO4 1 reagent and shake the test tube.

4. Add 5 drops of the PO4 2 reagent and shake the test tube.

5. Add 2 scoops of powder from the blue container and shake well.

6. Wait approximately 10 minutes, then determine the quantity of phosphates by comparing the colour of the liquid contained in the test tube with that of the supplied colour scale.
