For bacteria and other microscopic organisms to efficiently assimilate Carbon and Nitrogen, sufficient Phosphorus levels are essential.
With advancements in filtration technology, many aquariums now operate with low to ultra-low nutrient levels, often resulting in Phosphorus depletion. Such nutrient deficiencies can hinder biological filtration, causing nitrogen compounds like NO3 to accumulate and potentially become pollutants unless alternative filtration methods are utilized.
This formulation supports microbial growth and reproduction, enhancing biological filtration by enabling microscopic plankton and bacteria to consume Carbon and Nitrogen effectively. These beneficial bacteria can then be removed through mechanical filtration or serve as nourishment for other aquarium inhabitants such as sponges, corals, clams, and tunicates.
As a natural source of phosphate (PO4), this product allows for controlled dosing to maintain optimal PO4 concentrations, ideally around 0.04 mg/l. It is recommended to use precise and reliable phosphate test kits before dosing to accurately assess current phosphate levels.
Dosage guidance: 1ml increases approximately 0.01 ppm of PO4 per 100 liters of aquarium water. Gradually raise PO4 levels by 0.01–0.02 ppm daily, testing after each adjustment and waiting 24 hours before proceeding. Continue this process until the desired phosphate concentration is achieved.
If phosphate dosing does not result in a decrease of both NO3 and PO4 after 24 hours, the system may be limited by available carbon.
Caution: Keep out of reach of children. Not for human consumption.
