Tropic Marin Test PO4 (Fosphates) Sweet and marine

Phosphates are very important nutrients for all plants and are indispensable for the energy metabolism of each living cell.

Phosphates arrive in the aquarium water with food and are released from dead plants and the processes of decomposition of organic matter.

As long as aquarium plants maintain the concentration of phosphates under a certain level,

the system is in dynamic balance between demand and supply.

Only an uncontrolled increase in the concentration of phosphates creates problems, such as strong growth of algae.

In marine aquariums, a high concentration also adversely affects the growth of corals,

because the excretion of calcium carbonate necessary for the formation of the limestone skeleton is hampered by phosphates.
