Brightwell Aquatics Phosphat-E - Liquid Phosphate Remover for Marine Fish and Reef Aquarium

Phosphate, while required in miniscule amounts by living organisms for proper functioning, can indirectly negatively impact the overall appearance of an aquarium system if it is allowed to exist at a concentration measurable by most aquarium test kits (e.g. >0.05 ppm); in order for this impact to occur, other undesirable substances must be present in varying concentrations, however these substances are rarely limiting in the typical marine aquarium. Because of this, elevated phosphate concentrations, whether sporadic or chronic, should be combated. Phosphāt-E enables a quick solution to elevated phosphate concentrations by binding the reactive (“free”) form of the molecule and making it unavailable for biological uptake. The resultant inert phosphate compound (a particulate) may then be permanently removed from the system via mechanical filtration and/or protein skimming. This method of treatment may be used as needed and/or on a continual basis to maintain an immeasurable phosphate concentration in a marine aquarium. While Phosphāt-E provides a workable solution to potential phosphate-related problems, it should not be seen as an alternative to proper and sensible aquarium husbandry. Aquaria with extremely-low to immeasurable reactive phosphate often appear more pristine than those in which phosphate is allowed to persist in an elevated concentration. Feeding aquarium inhabitants sensibly, limiting the use of organic-based supplements and additives, use of a high-quality synthetic aquarium salt blend, and performing water changes/replacing evaporation with purified water are all important aspects of phosphate control. Additional means of limiting phosphate are maintaining a culture of macroalgae in the system to naturally deplete phosphate and other substances, and/or the use of an effective and well-maintained protein skimmer. Note: Phosphate test kits may show a false-positive reading after aquarium has been treated; this is a result of the chemical mechanism by which phosphate test kits operate and does not indicate that the product has failed to perform its intended function. The higher the percentage of bound phosphate removed by filtration, the more accurate test kit readings will be.

• ENHANCED PHOSPHATE ELIMINATION – Phosphat-E Phosphate Remover is a potent solution to assist in phosphate control in heavily-stocked aquaria. It provides a quick and precise solution to elevated phosphate concentrations while being safe for all inhabitants of reef and marine-fish-only aquaria
• AQUARIUM PHOSPHATE REDUCTION – This marine water treatment eliminates reactive phosphate immediately, once added to the aquarium. It is powerful and highly efficient and can be used on an ongoing basis for the phosphate reduction process
• QUALITY ASSURANCE – After treatment, phosphate test kits may show false positive readings as a result of the chemical mechanism of the kits, and the aquarium may become slightly cloudy when the product is first applied. This is normal and temporary and does not mean the product is not working
• DIRECTIONS – Test aquarium phosphate concentration before initial use with an accurate kit. Add Phosphat-E near a mechanical filter or protein skimmer intake and administer at a maximum rate of 2.5 ml per 20 gallons daily. This removes 0.5 ppm of phosphate; 250 ml treats up to 4,000 US-gallons
• AMERICAN-MADE EXCELLENCE – Brightwell Aquatics is an industry-leading brand committed to providing innovative and scientifically backed aquatic care products. Made in the USA, we consistently deliver advanced superior quality solutions to elevate the vibrancy and health of your aquarium
