Lost instructions for the Salifert phosphate test
Can anyone help me out, how much tank water, how much dry reagent, and how much liquid reagent to use?
Thanks. |

1) Add 10ml of water in the test vial
2) Add to this 4 drops of PO4-1 and swirl for 10 sec. 3) Add to this 1 level scoop of PO4-2 reagent and swirl for 30 sec. 4) Place the open test vial on top of the color chart on a part of the chart which is white and compare the colors looking from the top. The phospahte values are in ppm phosphate. 0.03 - good 0.10 - critical 0.25 - coral growth retarded 0.50 - your hooped (it doesn't actually say that I just added it) Should you require an even higher sensitivity then double the water sample and the reagents. The scale should then be divided by 2 Hope that helps |

Nope, mine says 4 drops. I bought mine about 4 months ago from J&L so maybe they have updated?????? |
