SeaTest PO Phosphate Test Kit for Marine & Freshwater Aquariums
Overview
SeaTest PO 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.

- Compare results with the color chart to determine the phosphate concentration.
- 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.
