PHOSPHATES TEST
MARINE AQUARIUM
Phosphorus is one of the basic building blocks needed to build living molecules.
This source of PO4 will come from fish food in significant concentrations. Simply adding 5 grams of dry food to a 750-liter aquarium will increase the PO4 level by 0.2 PPM. The fish will then excrete the excess PO4 obtained from the food as waste. Tap water can be a significant source of phosphate, so it is advisable to avoid using deionized or distilled water.
The concentration of phosphate in natural seawater is about 0.06 PPM. This value, however, is significantly lower in coral reef areas. Typically this concentration is between 0.01 and 0.02 PPM. With the Royal Nature Phosphate Test Kit, the concentration of Phosphate can be determined within the range of 0.05 - 0.1 - 0.3 - 0.5 - 1 - 3 and 5 PPM with a very precise color scale.
The Royal Nature Phosphate Test Kit has been designed to be easy to use, easy to read and offers the possibility of performing 100 tests per kit.
Royal Nature has taken the time to make this kit accessible but not only that, but also to make it easier to read and more precise. The biggest criticism of titration test kits is the way they are read, which makes the process uncertain. So the color variation is important for many factors, such as ambient light, the way of sampling or the individual visual perception of colors.
Royal Nature wanted to take its time, draw inspiration from scientific studies to make a measurement scale with colors adapted to general visual perception.
The Royal Nature Phosphate Test Kit is a 2-step test with an indicator and a powder reagent. Since the PO4 level in natural seawater is around 0.06 PPM, it is important for us to give you the ability to control this element around this concentration. This phosphate level of 0.06 PPM corresponds to the seawater level in the Northern Hemisphere, so it is important for any aquarist to be able to measure it. The scale provided in the kit and developed by Royal Nature, will give you a result with great accuracy.
