Phosphate Professional Test 100T Royal Nature

Phosphate Professional Test 100T – Royal Nature Phosphate Test

The Royal Nature Phosphate Professional Test 100T is a colorimetric test designed for the accurate measurement of phosphates in marine and reef aquarium water. Results are expressed in PPM and each kit allows for up to 100 tests.

Main Features

Testing Instructions

Using the 5 ml syringe, add 5 ml of aquarium water to the test vial.

Add one level spoon of PO4-1 reagent to the test vial and gently shake for 10 seconds.

Then add 5 drops of PO4-2 reagent to the vial and gently shake for 10 to 20 seconds.

Let the solution sit for 1 minute.

Hold the test vial next to the provided color chart on a white area, then compare the color obtained with the scale. An intermediate color corresponds to an intermediate phosphate concentration.

Useful Information

Keep the kit out of reach of children.

Before use, ensure that the test vial and the measuring scoop are washed only with osmosis water and dried with a soft paper.

Phosphorus is a fundamental element of living matter and is present in reef aquarium water as PO4. The main sources of phosphates come from fish feeding. A single feeding of 5 g of food can significantly increase PO4 levels in an aquarium.

Tap water can also be an important source of phosphates, which justifies the use of osmosis water for preparation and water changes.

The phosphate concentration in natural seawater is about 0.06 PPM. In reef areas, it is generally between 0.01 and 0.02 PPM.

The Royal Phosphate kit allows the determination of PO4 content using a finely adjusted color scale, covering a range of concentrations of 0.05, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 1, 3, and 5 PPM.

Royal Nature designed this test to improve readability and precision of results. The color chart is based on analytical studies corresponding to the average reflection of the human eye, in order to reduce the influence of external factors such as ambient lighting.

The Royal Nature phosphate test is based on a two-step process using an indicator and a powder reagent. This design allows for precise monitoring of low PO4 concentrations, close to natural values, while offering an extended and precise reading range.
