Phosphates enter aquarium water through food and the decomposition of organic matter. However, an uncontrolled increase in phosphate levels creates problems, such as excessive algae growth. Additionally, phosphates in saltwater aquariums can severely impede the excretion of calcium carbonate needed to build the calcareous skeleton of stony corals, thus significantly hindering their growth. On the other hand, with high plant or coral populations and low fish populations, phosphate can also become a deficiency element that must be supplemented.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eIn natural seawater, the phosphate content is approximately 0.06 mg\/l. However, this value is significantly lower in coral reef areas, where concentrations between 0.01 and 0.02 mg\/l are found. Corresponding values ​​should be aimed for in saltwater aquariums, depending on the specific stock. For freshwater aquariums, a phosphate level of up to 0.4 mg\/l is appropriate, although 1 mg\/l should not be exceeded. A concentration of 0.02 mg\/l is considered sufficient to provide nutrients to aquatic plants. The phosphate concentration in the aquarium water should therefore be checked regularly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e With the Tropic Marin \u003csup data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e®\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003ePO \u003csub data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e4\u003c\/sub\u003e test can accurately determine the phosphate concentration using a color scale in the range of 0.03 to 3 mg\/l.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe advantages at a glance:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Measuring range: 0.03 - 3.0 mg\/l \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e \n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eResolution (accuracy): 0.05 mg\/l \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e to determine the phosphate concentration in the aquarium \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e with comparator for optimal color comparison \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e sufficient for approx. 50 applications \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRecommended use:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003col data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Shake the dropper bottles before use!
