Salifert Nitrate & Phosphate Test Kit Bundle

Salifert Nitrate & Phosphate Test Kit Bundle

This Salifert bundle brings together two essential water quality testsNitrate (NO) and Phosphate (PO)helping reef and marine aquarium keepers monitor conditions that can directly affect coral health, algae growth, and overall tank stability. Both kits are known for their accuracy and sensitivity, making them reliable tools for both experienced aquarists and newcomers.

Key Features:

• Combines two high-performance Salifert test kits
• Suitable for reef and fish-only marine aquariums
• Detects low-level nutrient concentrations quickly and clearly
• Designed to support coral growth and control nuisance algae
• Approximately 60 nitrate and 50 phosphate tests included

Together, these kits allow aquarists to keep a closer eye on nutrient levels that, if left unchecked, can disrupt biological balance or compromise coral growth. An ideal combination for any marine tank maintenance routine.

Salifert Nitrate (NO) Profi Test Kit

A build-up of nitrate often occurs when anaerobic zones are insufficient or when the denitrification process is incomplete. High nitrate levels can lead to unwanted algae growth, which may irritate nearby corals and hinder coral development directly.

The ideal nitrate concentration in a well-balanced reef aquarium is below 1 mg/l. Fish-only aquariums typically tolerate higher levels, but ongoing monitoring remains important.

Many nitrate test kits work by chemically converting nitrate into nitrite, which is then measured. However, this can lead to inaccurate readings due to amine interference, which may cause results to appear significantly lower than the true value.

Key Features:

• Measures nitrate-nitrogen from approx. 0.0520 mg/l or nitrate ion from 0.2100 mg/l
• Reliable results with reduced amine interference
• Designed for both reef and fish-only systems
• Performs approximately 60 tests per kit

This test offers a broad range, suitable for both low-nutrient reef tanks and nutrient-rich fish systems, and gives dependable readings even at low concentrations.

Salifert Phosphate (PO) Profi Test Kit

Phosphate is a key nutrient that, when present in excess, encourages algae blooms and disrupts coral and calcareous algae growth. Research indicates that phosphate levels over 0.05 mg/l can reduce calcareous algae growth by up to 90%, making phosphate control vital.

Sources of phosphate include fish food and low-grade activated carbon. Washing thawed fish food and choosing high-quality carbon can greatly reduce phosphate input.

For removal, liquid or granular phosphate removers are recommended. These not only reduce phosphate but also lower silicate and organic levels while removing heavy metals.

Key Features:

• Detects phosphate concentrations as low as 0.015 mg/l
• Delivers results in seconds
• Helps prevent algae issues and supports coral health
• Approximately 50 tests per kit

The high sensitivity of this test makes it easy to detect changes early and act before problems escalate, helping maintain optimal water quality in marine systems.
