AquaTest PO4 High Res from ELOS is a test for measuring phosphate in marine or freshwater aquaria with high accuracy.

The breakdown of ammonia to nitrate is not the only cycle that occurs in an aquarium. The aquarium is a closed-loop system; what we put in remains there. Animals need many different compounds in order to grow and stay healthy. Many of the nutrients we supply contain phosphorous (P). Phosphate like nitrate (NO3) accumulates in water. Phosphate and nitrate are nutrient sources for unwanted algae growth. In some cases, phosphate may be present in the water itself from the local water supply.

In fresh water where a level of 0.5 mg/l phosphate is usually acceptable, especially in aquaria populated with many plants, it is important not to exceed the limit value of 1 mg/l.

In a marine aquarium, the normally acceptable level will be much lower, since in nature, the level normally found is around 0.06 mg/l, a value that can even fall as low as 0.02 mg/l near coral reefs. This value is considered the upper limit not to be exceeded in aquaria with small polyped stony corals.

The ELOS AquaTest PO4, specially developed for use in aquaria, allows you to check the phosphate value in both freshwater and seawater, thanks to the use of highly accurate dosers and reagents, as well as a calibrated colorimetric scale on which a range of 0.01 -1.5 mg/l. phosphate (PO4) is indicated.

The attention to detail that ELOS puts into the production of AquaTest test kits is a sign of customer care, the dropper bottle has specially calibrated droppers that allow the correct formation of the single drop, the test tubes (cuvettes) are made of glass, the reagents are of the highest degree of purity, and they have precise instructions for the best possible use.

All ELOS AquaTest range are NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) certified. because "... we believe it is absolutely unnecessary to make a test that does not provide consistent and accurate results. ELOS' careful batch management policy prevents tests from suffering from thermal stress or too long a storage time.
