Product description
Excessive concentrations of phosphates in the water can lead to strong algae growth and a reduction in the growth of corals and aquatic plants. This is why it is important to monitor the phosphate concentration in an aquarium regularly and maintain the level in the optimum range for the organisms. The optimum range of the phosphate levels in seawater is from 0.02 to 0.15 mg / l and in reef aquaria from 0.03 to 0.1 mg / l. An accumulation of phosphates in aquarium water from various sources (food, food supplements, coral fissure) sometimes makes it necessary to take rapid action to bring the phosphate concentration back down to the recommended level.
Tropic Marin Elimi-Phos Rapid is a highly-effective solution based on lanthanum which binds phosphates rapidly and eliminates it from the water. As a result, the phosphate concentration is efficiently reduced in next to no time to a range between 0.2–0.4 mg/l (ppm).
Suibtable for freshwater and saltwater aquaria.
Benefits
- Extremely rapid removing of high phosphate concentration
- Highly-effective solution on the basis of Lanthanum
- Phosphate concentration can be lowered quickly to a range between 0.2 – 0.4 mg/l (ppm)
Ingredients
Tropic Marin Elimi-Phos Rapid is based on lanthanum.
Application & Dosage
Measure the phosphate concentration in your aquarium and then calculate the required amount of Tropic Marin Elimi-Phos Rapid. The addition of 10 ml per 100 l / 26 US-gal. of aquarium water reduces the phosphate concentration by up to 1 mg/l (ppm). We recommend reducing the phosphate concentration by no more than 0.1 mg/l (ppm) per day. This means that a maximum of 1 ml of Tropic Marin Elimi-Phos Rapid should be dosed slowly to 100 l / 26 US-gal. of water. Once the phosphate level has reached the target range of 0.2–0.4 mg/l (ppm) it is advisable to continue treating the water with the adsorber granules Tropic Marin Elimi-Phos Longlife in order to reduce the phosphate concentration further, keep it stable and maintain it at a permanently low level.
