Salifert Phosphate ProfiTest kit

Salifert Phosphate Profi Test Kit

This user-friendly, reliable tool is designed to accurately measure phosphate levels in aquariums. Essential for maintaining healthy water conditions and promoting the well-being of aquatic life, the Salifert Phosphate Profi Test Kit offers precise results, helping aquarium enthusiasts to prevent harmful phosphate build-up. The kit includes all necessary components for multiple tests, making it a cost-effective solution for both beginners and experienced aquarists.

If phosphate is present in too high a concentration, there may be an increase in growth of undesirable algae. Moreover, if the phosphate level is higher than 0.04 mg/L, the growth rate of corals and calcareous algae may decrease by as much as 90%. 

Washing fish food (a rich source of phosphates) after thawing can significantly reduce the input of phosphate, and using a high grade, phosphate free activated carbon can also help to keep phosphate levels as low as possible. 

The Salifert Phosphate test kit detects, in less than 5 seconds, the level of phosphate present. There are two different ranges within the kit: a low range for phosphate-phosphor from 0.01 - 1 mg/L and a medium range for phosphate-phosphor from 0.02 - 2 mg/L. The kit is sufficient for 60 tests.
