Tropic Marin PO4 test (phosphates) 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 water of the aquarium with food and are released from dead plants and the processes of decomposition of organic matter.

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

The system is in a dynamic balance between demand and offer.

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

In marine aquariums, a high concentration also affects corals' growth,

For the excretion of calcium carbonate needed for the formation of calcareous skeleton is hampered by phosphates.
