Aquaforest Phosphate Test Kit
Fast & Easy Phosphate Testing for Marine Aquariums
Keep phosphate levels under control with the Aquaforest AF Phosphate TestPro, a practical test kit designed for the quick measurement of phosphate ions (PO₄) in marine aquariums.
Phosphate is an important water parameter to monitor in reef systems. Elevated phosphate levels can encourage the growth of undesirable algae and may negatively affect corals. Regular testing allows you to monitor phosphate concentration and take appropriate action to maintain a healthy and balanced marine aquarium.
Aquaforest recommends that phosphate levels in a marine aquarium should not exceed 0.02 mg/L (ppm).
The AF Phosphate TestPro contains enough reagents to perform approximately 40 phosphate tests, making it suitable for regular water-quality monitoring.

Benefits
Monitor Phosphate Levels
Regular phosphate testing helps you identify changes in your aquarium's water chemistry and keep phosphate concentrations under control.
Helps Manage Unwanted Algae
Excess phosphate can contribute to the growth of undesirable algae. Regular testing gives you better insight into your aquarium's phosphate levels and helps you respond before elevated concentrations become a larger issue.
Protect Your Reef Environment
High phosphate concentrations may be harmful to corals. Monitoring phosphate regularly is therefore an important part of maintaining suitable water conditions in a reef aquarium.
Easy Result Interpretation
The included colour chart makes it straightforward to compare your test result and determine the approximate phosphate concentration in your aquarium water.
40 Tests Included
With enough reagents for approximately 40 individual tests, the AF Phosphate TestPro is suitable for routine phosphate monitoring.
Recommended Phosphate Level
For marine aquariums, Aquaforest recommends that phosphate concentration:
Should not exceed 0.02 mg/L (ppm)
Regular testing alongside other important aquarium parameters can help you maintain stable and suitable water conditions.
