NT Labs Aquarium Phosphate Test Kit 40 Tests
Phosphate is a major nutrient found principally in fish food to help with growth, good bone formation, and many other biological processes. However, not all of the phosphate is utilised by fish and is excreted as a waste product. It can also be generated by the breakdown of organic matter and is often present in tap water. While phosphate is essential for life, it is only required in small quantities.
Increased phosphate levels in the water column are often a major contributor to the growth of nuisance algae. Monitoring phosphate levels helps maintain a balanced and healthy aquarium environment.

Great value for 40 tests. I use it weekly to keep my tank balanced. No issues with color changes or false readings so far.
Virginia Avery –
The test was straightforward, but the color comparison chart is a bit hard to read in low light. Otherwise, it works well for basic phosphate checks.
