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. May be used in both fresh and saltwater aquariums. 

We recommend that you take a few minutes each week to monitor your aquarium conditions and create a better underwater world for your fish. Testing your aquarium water has never been so easy or accurate!

Contains 150 tests and includes 2 test solutions, easy-to-ready instructions, glass test tube and 2 color charts.

STEP 1
Fill the test tube with 5 ml of water to be tested (to the line on the tube).

STEP 2
Add 6 drops from Phosphate Test Solution Bottle #1 to the test tube. Hold the dropper bottle upside down in a completely vertical position for uniform drops.

STEP 3
Cap and shake the test tube vigorously for 5 seconds.

STEP 4
Add 6 drops from Phosphate Test Solution Bottle #2. Cap and shake the test tube vigorously for 5 seconds.

STEP 5
Wait 3 minutes for full color to develop. After 3 minutes, read the test results by matching the test solution against the appropriate Phosphate Test Color Chart. The tube should be viewed against the white area beside the color chart. Color comparisons are best made in a well-lit area. The closest match indicates the ppm (mg/L) of total phosphate (PO3-4) in the water sample.

Rinse the test tube with clean water after each use.
