Tropic Marin PO4 Pro Test
Tropic Marin PO4 Pro Test is a highly accurate test kit for monitoring phosphate in your aquarium. Phosphates are an essential nutrient for all plants and are vital for energy metabolism of every living cell. They are released into the aquarium via food, decomposition, and other means. If left uncontrolled however, they can begin to cause issues, slowing the growth of corals, causing algae blooms which in turn effect both freshwater and marine system. However, the same can be said when phosphate are too low, decreased growth from corals due to the zooxanthellae not getting the required phosphate, and slower growth in plants being a macro nutrient in plant organisms.
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. 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).
