In the natural habitats of tropical marine fish, high levels of phosphate, nitrate, and silicate are quite rare. However, in our aquariums, the situation is different. Factors such as leftover food, waste, inadequate filtration, protein skimming, and certain types of activated carbon can quickly push these levels beyond acceptable limits, leading to unwanted and uncontrollable algae growth.

Typically, tap water is not suitable when setting up a marine aquarium. Therefore, it is advisable to use osmosis water during preparation. Lower animals, particularly stony corals, are particularly sensitive to even small amounts of phosphate.

SILICATE STOP M effectively absorbs silicate (SiO4) quickly, helping to extract essential elements from algae. This action slows down and eventually halts algae growth, improving water quality. As a result, algae disappear, and lower animals, especially stony corals, thrive much better. The optimal silicate levels for marine aquariums are between 0.06 to a maximum of 2 mg/L.

USAGE: Rinse the SILICATE STOP M for 2 minutes with aquarium water. Place the filter net containing the SILICATE STOP M in the sump and ensure there is a substantial water flow. When the SILICATE STOP M becomes saturated, it will not release the absorbed silicates back into the water. An increase in the silicate (SiO4) values indicates that the absorption capacity of the SILICATE STOP M is saturated.

PACKAGING: This product comes in a 600 ml container, suitable for aquariums up to 600 L, with values from 0.1 to 1 mg/L.

CAUTION: If the aquarium water appears yellow or ocher, it is recommended to use AQUATIC NATURE CARBO MARINE EXCEL to filter the water. This product removes phenols and unpleasant odors, significantly enhancing the effectiveness of SILICATE STOP M. Additionally, NITRAT STOP M AQUATIC NATURE is an excellent solution if the nitrate content exceeds 15 mg.
