ASF - Phosphate Test Kit

SeaTest PO₄ – Phosphate Test Kit for Marine & Freshwater Aquariums

Overview

SeaTest PO₄ is a high-precision phosphate test kit designed to help aquarists monitor and control phosphate levels in marine and freshwater aquariums. Phosphate is a byproduct of organic waste decomposition, such as uneaten food and fish waste, and can contribute to undesirable algae growth. Maintaining low phosphate levels is essential for a healthy and balanced aquarium. Regular testing helps prevent excessive phosphate buildup and allows for proper aquarium maintenance.

Key Features

• Accurate Phosphate Monitoring – Measures phosphate concentration to prevent algae overgrowth and maintain water quality.
• Essential for Water Balance – Helps maintain optimal phosphate levels for a healthy aquarium ecosystem.
• Easy-to-Use Test Kit – Includes everything needed for simple and precise phosphate testing.
• Up to 40 Tests Per Kit – Long-lasting supply for regular monitoring.
• Color Chart for Easy Interpretation – Compare test results with a color scale to determine phosphate levels.
• Prevents Phosphate Buildup – Regular monitoring helps reduce algae growth and keep water clear.

Contents

✔ Test Reagents – Specially formulated to detect phosphate levels accurately.
✔ Measuring Cylinder – Ensures precise sample collection and testing.
✔ Color Chart – Provides easy-to-read phosphate level comparisons.
✔ Instruction Manual – Step-by-step guidelines for effective testing.

Usage Instructions

1. Collect a water sample using the provided measuring cylinder.
2. Add the test reagents as per the instructions.
3. Mix and wait for the color to develop.
4. Compare results with the color chart to determine the phosphate concentration.
5. Take corrective actions if phosphate levels exceed recommended thresholds.

Recommended Phosphate Levels

• Reef Aquariums: < 0.03 mg/L (Ultra-low for SPS corals)
• Fish-Only Marine Tanks: 0.1 – 0.2 mg/L
• Freshwater Aquariums: 0.1 – 0.5 mg/L
• Maximum Tolerated Level: 0.5 mg/L (Higher values can lead to algae blooms and water quality issues)

⚠ Note: Phosphate tends to form insoluble salts, which settle in substrate and sludge. Regular cleaning and removal of sludge are recommended to prevent phosphate accumulation.

Precautionary Statements (H314)

⚠ Caution: Observe safety precautions when handling test reagents.

• H314 – Causes severe skin burns and eye damage.
• P260 – Do not breathe dust, fumes, gas, mist, vapors, or spray.
• P264 – Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
• P280 – Wear protective gloves, clothing, eye protection, and face protection.
• P301 + P330 + P331 – IF SWALLOWED: Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting.
• P303 + P361 + P353 – IF ON SKIN (or hair): Remove contaminated clothing immediately and rinse skin with water/shower.
• P304 + P340 – IF INHALED: Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing.
• P305 + P351 + P338 – IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses if present and continue rinsing.
• P310 – Immediately call a Poison Center or doctor if irritation persists.
• P405 – Store locked up and in a well-ventilated area.
• P501 – Dispose of contents/container safely.
