Phosphorus is an essential element required in metabolic processes, protein synthesis, and the growth of corals and macroalgae. Maintaining balanced phosphorus levels alongside nitrogen is crucial for optimal growth and vibrant coloration in reef aquariums.
Supplementing with this product provides a targeted and effective way to increase phosphorus concentrations without introducing dissolved organics, ensuring a clean and healthy environment for your aquatic life.
Designed for precise dosing, it pairs ideally with an aquavitro sentia dose doser to maintain consistent phosphorus levels tailored to your aquarium's unique needs. Manual dosing is also straightforward and effective. Optimal phosphorus concentrations generally range from 0.02 to 0.05 mg/L phosphate, with this formula containing 0.117% elemental phosphorus. For balanced nutrient management, use alongside complementary nitrogen supplements to achieve ideal nitrogen-to-phosphorus ratios for reef vitality.
Directions
Beginner:
Use 1/2 cap (2.5 mL) per 160 L (40 US gallons) once a week or as needed to maintain desired phosphorus levels.
Advanced:
The beginner dose raises phosphate by 0.05 mg/L. To target a specific phosphate concentration, apply the formula: 0.31 × volume (L) × desired phosphate increase (mg/L) = volume of product (mL). For example, to raise 160 liters by 0.05 mg/L phosphate, dose 2.5 mL accordingly. (Note: 1 US gallon = 3.8 L.)
