API FW/SW Phosphate Test Kit

Description

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.

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

API Phosphate Test Kit for SG Planted and Marine Tanks

Phosphate is one of the quieter drivers of algae trouble, and in Singapore it can enter your tank through tap water as well as fish waste and uneaten food. This kit reads across the useful range for both freshwater and saltwater, which makes it handy whether you’re chasing green spot algae in a planted scape or keeping nutrients in check on a reef. We find it especially useful for diagnosing why an otherwise healthy tank keeps growing algae.

In our warm climate, fish feed actively and waste accumulates faster, so phosphate can creep up between water changes more quickly than keepers expect. Reading it alongside nitrate gives a clearer picture than treating algae blindly. The liquid reagents and glass vials store compactly, and we suggest keeping them away from kitchen heat and the humidity that builds up in enclosed HDB cabinets.
