PRODACtest PO4 - Phosphate

Water test for determining the phosphate concentration (PO4) - suitable for freshwater and saltwater aquariums

Phosphate is not toxic. However, an excess of phosphate can, under certain circumstances, favour strong algae growth. On the other hand, aquatic plants and the zooxanthellae of corals in seawater require a minimum amount of phosphate to function properly. This test enables you to determine whether there is a need for action.

Phosphate test set Instructions for use

  1. Rinse the cuvette several times with the water to be tested and then fill up with exactly 10 ml of water *
  2. Add 5 drops of reagent 1 and shake
  3. Add a level spatula of reagent 2 and shake again
    If phosphate is present in the water, the sample will change colour. After 5 minutes you can read off the concentration
  4. Compare the colour of the sample with the colour table by holding the cuvette close to the colour that looks closest to you and looking through the cuvette from above
    For good results, it is best to use daylight (no direct sunlight)

* The meniscus of the water surface must touch the 10 ml graduation mark exactly

Caution

Clean the cuvette after use, close the reagent bottle tightly and store in a cool, dry place away from light.
Keep out of reach of children!

Phosphate is one of the most important nutrients for aquarium plants. Please follow the instructions for our fertiliser Eudrakon P fertiliser for the recommended concentration.
Phosphate mainly enters the tank via the fish food and possibly the tap water (for information on the PO4-concentration of your tap water can be obtained from the relevant waterworks). In addition, peat, other natural products and certain preparations for aquaria may contain significant amounts of phosphate.
You can specifically increase the phosphate concentration with the phosphate fertiliser Eudrakon P or with the phosphate binder Phosphareduc effectively.
