JBL PROAQUATEST PO4 Phosphat Sensitive

JBL PROAQUATEST PO₄ Phosphate Sensitive – Low-Range Phosphate Test for Aquariums & Ponds

Detect even very low phosphate levels with the JBL PROAQUATEST PO₄ Phosphate Sensitive kit. Designed for precision at the lower end of the scale, this liquid test helps you monitor phosphate (PO₄³⁻) in freshwater, marine aquariums, and ponds to reduce algae risk and support stable, healthy systems.

Why monitor phosphate?

• Algae control: Excess PO₄ fuels nuisance algae growth.
• Coral & plant health: Balanced nutrients support corals and aquatic plants without tipping into algae blooms.
• Water clarity & stability: Regular checks keep parameters within target ranges.

Key features

• Sensitive, low-range detection for precise control in reef and planted tanks.
• Clear colour comparison for quick, repeatable readings.
• Fast procedure with results in minutes.
• For freshwater & marine aquariums and ponds.

What’s included

• Liquid reagents for phosphate (PO₄) determination
• Test vial / cuvette with cap
• Colour comparison card
• Measuring accessories (e.g., syringe or spoon)
• Instructions

How to use (quick guide)

1. Rinse the vial with sample water and fill to the mark.
2. Add the indicated drops of each reagent as directed.
3. Cap, mix gently, and wait for the reaction time.
4. Compare the sample colour to the chart under neutral light.
5. Record the result to track trends and adjust maintenance.

Pro tips

• Test weekly, and after feeding or dosing changes.
• Source control: Rinse frozen foods and avoid overfeeding.
• Lowering PO₄: Use quality phosphate media, regular water changes, and good skimming (marine).
• Pair with NO₃ tests to maintain a balanced nutrient ratio.

FAQs

Is it suitable for reef tanks?
Yes. The sensitive scale is ideal for low phosphate levels in reefs.

How often should I test?
Weekly is a solid baseline; increase frequency if algae appears or when adjusting feeding/filtration.

What is a good phosphate level?
Targets vary by setup. Keep PO₄ within the safe range recommended for your system and livestock.
