Reef Zlements Phos+ - 500ml - Nutrient Solution
Phosphorus is an extremely important element for microfauna and coral nutrition. When present in sufficient quantities, it promotes “biological filtration” and improved coral coloration and health.
In order for bacteria and other microscopic organisms to assimilate carbon and nitrogen, sufficient amounts of phosphorus are required.
With the increased efficiency of filtration systems, low and ultra-low nutrient aquariums are becoming more common. These systems are often low in phosphorus. When a system is nutrient deficient, this means that “biological filtration” is not occurring as efficiently as it should and nutrients such as NO3 can increase and
become pollutants unless other forms of filtration are used.
Reef Zlement's Phos+ supports the growth and reproduction of microorganisms and improves biological filtration by allowing microscopic plankton and bacteria to consume carbon and nitrogen. These bacteria can then be exported via mechanical filtration or used as food by other organisms in our aquariums, such as sponges, corals, mussels, tunicates, etc.
Reef Zlements Phos+ is a natural source of PO4 that can be added to the aquarium in a controlled manner to achieve ideal PO4 levels. We recommend using Reef Zlements Phos+ to achieve PO4 levels of around 0,04 mg/l.
Before dosing Reef Zlements Phos+, we recommend using reliable and accurate phosphate test kits to determine the phosphate level in the aquarium.
1ml Reef Zlements Phos+ increases the PO4 content in 100l aquarium water by ~0,01ppm.
Once phosphate levels are determined, we recommend increasing only 0,01-0,02ppm PO4 per day by dosing the required amount and waiting 24 hours to test PO4 levels. This process should be repeated until the desired PO4 values are achieved.
If PO4 is dosed and after 24 hours both NO3 and PO4 levels do not begin to decrease, your system may be low in carbon.
Caution! Keep out of reach of children. Not suitable for human consumption.
