Product Description
The phosphate concentration in natural saltwater is approximately 0.06 mg/l (ppm). However, the phosphate concentration in coral reefs may be much lower, typically between 0.01 and 0.02 mg/l (ppm). The objective is to establish an appropriate level in relation to the number and type of aquarium inhabitants. In freshwater applications, a phosphate concentration of up to 0.4 mg/l (ppm) is suitable; however 1 mg/l (ppm) should not be exceeded. Even a concentration of 0.02 mg/l (ppm) is adequate for supplying aquatic plants with nutrients. Therefore, the phosphate concentration in the aquarium water should be tested regularly.
With the high resolution Tropic Marin Phosphate-Test Professional the phosphate concentration can be determined with a particularly high accuracy in the low concentration range between 0.01 and 1 mg/l.
Benefits:
- Measurement range: 0.01 - 1.0 mg/l (ppm)
- Accuracy: 0.02 mg/l (ppm)
- For determining the phosphate concentration in aquaria
- Incl. comparator and phosphate standard to check function and shelf life of the test reagents
- Sufficient for approximately 50 applications
How to use:
- Shake the dropper bottles before use! Assemble and prepare the comparator.
- Rinse out both glass cuvettes with tap water and then several times with aquarium water.
- Fill each glass cuvette with exactly 5 ml of aquarium water using the dosing syringe. Put one of the two water samples aside as a reference.
- Add 10 drops (for saltwater) or 12 drops (for freshwater) of test reagent A to the test cuvette, close the glass cuvette using the stopper and briefly shake the sample.
- After that, add 4 drops of test reagent B, close the glass cuvette once again and briefly shake it.
- After 2 minutes of development time place the open test cuvette and the reference cuvette with the water sample into the comparator. Place the comparator on the colour card in such a way that the reference cuvette is sitting on a coloured field and the test cuvette on a white field
- Now compare the opposing fields. To do this, look into the open cuvettes from above. Move the comparator on the colour card until both cuvettes match exactly.
- Read off the phosphate concentration under the relevant colour field. If the colours do not match exactly, an intermediate value can be estimated.
- Rinse out the glass cuvettes and the syringe thoroughly with tap water after the measurement process.
