- Phosphate has several negative effects if present in too high of a concentration.
- First of all undesirable algae growth often results, making the aquarium an unpleasant sight.
- Phosphate also blocks or retards the growth of corals and calcareous algae.
- One scientific study concluded that a phosphate concentration higher than 0.05 mg/L decreases the growth of calcareous algae by 90%!
- Since phosphate can have major consequences when present in a concentration above 0.05 mg/L a test kit should be able to detect even lower concentrations.
- The Salifert phosphate test kit can detect 0.015 mg/L of phosphate within seconds.
- This makes phosphate measurement highly reliable and informative allowing timely measures to be taken.
- The kit can perform approx. 50 measurements
