Start testing right out of the box and control algae growth in aquariums
Regulating phosphate and nitrate is essential. Algae can grow rapidly and become problematic when these parameters are too high whereas levels that are too low will starve corals and disrupt biological processes. Enjoy hassle-free testing and incorporate our Marine Algae and Nutrient Management Kit as part of your reef tank maintenance routine.
