Tropic Marin ELIMI-PHOSRAPID

Features:

Extremely rapid and highly-effective phosphateremover

Excessive concentrations of phosphates in the watercan lead to strong algae growth and a reduction in the growth of corals andaquatic plants. This is why it is important to monitor the phosphateconcentration in an aquarium regularly and maintain the level in the optimumrange for the organisms. The optimum range of the phosphate levels in seawateris from 0.02 to 0.15 mg/l ​and in reef aquariafrom 0.02 to 0.1 mg/l. An accumulation of phosphates in aquarium water fromvarious sources (food, food supplements, coral fissure) sometimes makes itnecessary to take rapid action to bring the phosphate concentration back downto the recommended level.

ELIMI-PHOS RAPID is a highly-effective solution onthe basis of Lanthanum which binds phosphates rapidly and eliminates them fromthe water, efficiently reducing the phosphate concentration can be loweredquickly to a range between 0.2 – 0.4 mg/l (ppm). The water quality is improvingrapidly; corals shine in new colors and grow stronger.

How to use:

500 ml of ELIMI-PHOSRAPID bind up to 5 g of phosphates, i.e. adding 10 ml to a 100 l / 26 US-gal.aquarium reduces the phosphate concentration by up to 1 mg/l.

Measure the phosphateconcentration in your aquarium and then calculate the required amount of ELIMI-PHOSRAPID. We recommend reducing the phosphate concentration by no more than 0.1mg/l per day, i.e. by adding a maximum of 1 ml of ELIMI-PHOS RAPID to 100 l /25 US-gal. water volume.

Note: Allorganisms require traces of phosphate; 0.00 mg/l (ppm) of phosphate in anaquarium does not suffice. The optimum range of the phosphate levels inseawater is from 0.02 to 0.15 mg / l ​andin reef aquaria from 0.02 to 0.1 mg / l.

Phosphate reductiontreatment is most effective in tanks with a skimmer or a mechanical filterwhich will completely remove the flocculated phosphate from the system. Adropwise addition using a dosing pump would be optimal.

The followingconsiderations should be borne in mind:

1. Phosphate reduction has no known adverse effects. Should you observe anysigns of stress in individual organisms, however, you should stop the treatmentfor 1 – 2 days or until the symptoms have disappeared and then continue withhalf the recommended dose.
2. Keep an eye on the carbonate hardness as occasionally it can drop slightly.If it does drop, use Tropic Marin^®TRIPLE-BUFFERtorestore the carbonate hardness to its original level.
3. All organisms need a very small amount of phosphate; 0.00 mg/l is not anadvisable level for an aquarium. ELIMI-PHOS RAPID should therefore not be usedto excess.

If you want to reducethe concentration further and stabilize it at consistently low levels then werecommend following up this treatment with our phosphate adsorber Tropic Marin^® ELIMI-PHOS Longlife.
