Aquatic Nature Phosphate Stop M Seawater

Aquatic Nature Phosphate Stop M Seawater absorbs phosphate from the aquarium in a rapid and efficient manner (PO4)

High levels of phosphate and nitrate are quite uncommon in the natural habitats of tropical fish. However, in our aquariums, this is often not the case due to factors such as uneaten food, waste, insufficient filtration, skimming, and certain types of active carbon (like acid-rinsed carbon). These elements can lead to elevated levels that may cause rapid and unwanted algae growth, which is difficult to control.

It is important to note that tap water is generally unsuitable for setting up saltwater aquariums. For this reason, using osmosis water is highly recommended for preparing aquarium water.

Invertebrates, especially hard corals, are very sensitive to even small amounts of phosphate. PHOSPHAT M effectively absorbs phosphate from the aquarium in a rapid and efficient manner (PO4). This process removes vital elements from algae, curbing their growth and leading to their eventual disappearance. As a result, water quality improves, algae diminishes, and invertebrates, particularly hard corals, can thrive.

The optimal phosphate levels in a saltwater aquarium range between 0.05 and a maximum of 0.1 mg/ltr. Invertebrates and caulerpa species tend to utilize a small amount of phosphate, which is why having a completely phosphate-free aquarium is not ideal. However, it is crucial to avoid exceeding the ideal phosphate value of 0.1 mg/ltr, as higher levels can impede coral tissue growth.

USAGE:

Rinse the PHOSPHAT STOP M for 2 minutes with lukewarm aquarium water. Place the PHOSPHAT STOP M in the filter, ensuring a strong water flow. Once saturated, the absorbed phosphates will not be released back into the water. The PHOSPHAT STOP M is considered saturated when phosphate (PO4) values begin to increase again.

PACKAGING:

Available in 300 ml packaging for aquariums up to 300 liters with phosphate levels of 0.1 to 1 mg/ltr, and 600 ml packaging for aquariums up to 600 liters with the same phosphate range.

WARNING:

If the aquarium water takes on a yellow or ochre color, it is advisable to filter using AQUATIC NATURE CARBO MARINE EXCEL (which is evaporation-activated). This will help remove phenols and unpleasant odors while enhancing the effectiveness of PHOSPHAT STOP M. In cases of excessive nitrate levels exceeding 15 mg, AQUATIC NATURE NITRAT STOP M is an excellent option for reducing these high levels.

Please note that PHOSPHAT STOP M cannot be regenerated and is not recommended for use in freshwater aquariums.
