A conductivity reading of 1600 µS/cm in a lab is typically used as a measure of the amount of dissolved ions in a water sample, often indicating a relatively high level of impurities or salinity, and is commonly used in applications like water quality testing, environmental monitoring, and industrial processes to assess the purity or potential contamination of a water source; a higher µS/cm value signifies more dissolved ions present.
Phosphate can enter your aquarium through tap water, fish waste, and decaying organics such as uneaten food and dead algae. Excess phosphate contributes to unsightly algae and green water blooms, and in saltwater, excess phosphate can inhibit the growth of hard corals. The PHOSPHATE TEST KIT tests phosphate levels from 0 to 10 ppm so that you can easily monitor the condition of your aquarium water and may be used in both fresh and saltwater aquariums. This test kit is easy to use and economical, delivering about 150 tests.
