Phosphate filter d300 filled with high-end phosphate adsorber phosphate adsorber for easy reduction of too high phsophate concentrations

This simple filter can be equipped with different sieves and connections. Additional valves (drain, vent) and a measuring chain connection (also retrofitted) can also be added.

Possible applications of the AquaCare filter:

This filter is optimally operated in the fluidized bed process.

Features of the AquaCare phosphate filter:

suitable for different materials
Effective retention of the filter material by drain sieve
Fluidized bed filter insert with baffle plate
and of course , made of German quality acrylic material

Installation of the phosphate filter:

in the filter sump
external (next to, below or above the aquarium)

Required accessories:

Water inlet with sufficient pressure (bypass from main aquarium pump or own pump)

The feed water from the aquarium is pumped into the system by means of a bypass of the main pump or an additional feed pump. The water flows from bottom to top through the filter. The phosphate is removed from the water and safely bound by the adsorber.

If the phosphate concentration falls below 0.05 mg/l PO4, the flow should be reduced. If it rises above 0.2 mg/l, please increase the flow rate. The maximum flow rate should not be exceeded, because otherwise the material accumulates on the upper sponge.

If the phosphate concentration in the aquarium rises again, the material must be replaced. - The material should be used in the filter without flushing.

Phosphate is a very important nutrient and should never miss. But if the water contains too much phosphate green algae and cyano-bacteria (blue-green algae) are growing rapidly. Hard corals will be destroyed because at high concentrations they are not able to synthesize their skeleton. In the modern reef aquaristic the phosphate concentration should be between 0.05…0.20 mg/l (ppm).

AquaCare Phosphate-X-gobuli have followig characteristics:

excellent performance
safe adsorption without re-sorption
no dust, means modern energy-saving pumps cannot be destroyed by iron particles
not release of soluble iron
not release of colour
regular size, therefore perfect for moving bed technology

For ordinary application we recommend the AquaCare Phosphate-Standard-Adsorber with excellent price-performance ratio.

Adsorption isotherm of Phosphat-X-globuli:

A statement, howmay grams phosphate 1 litre adsorber material will remove is incomplet and gives no evidence about the efficiency of the material. This statement make sense if the phosphate concentration is given, too. Because: the lower the wished concentration the less phosphate will be adsorpt. This is a physical law. An objective statement is only possible with a so-called Adsorption-Isotherme.

The above adsorption isotherme of Phosphat-X-globuli shows the capacity:
Choose the wished phosphate concentration, e.g. 0.05 mg/l for a hard coral tank. Head on the x-axis to 0.05 ppm and then vertically till the graph, then head horizontal to the y-axis and read out the value: 2 g/l Phosphate-X-Globuli. For a soft coral tank with a upper limit of 0.5 ppm the capacity will be 5.5 g/l.
Info: in fresh water or at lower temperatures the capacity is higher.

Typical decline of the phosphate concentration in an aquarium with a high level of phosphate (blue and purple) and with low start concentration (yellow) while using Phosphate-X_globuli. The loaded PMR filter was started at day 0. Within 3 days the high phosphate concentration drops below the harmful concentration of 0.2 ppm. If you start with lower concentrations the adsorption capacity will stay longer.

To prevent an increase of the phosphate concentration at low levels the service life will least several weeks depending on the size of the aquarium, the size of the PMR filter, and the input of phosphate (e.g. feeding). Not before the concentration reaches the upper limit the Phosphate-X_globuli have to replaced.

Matrix	porous polystyrene, impregnated with iron hydroxide nano particles
Size of balls	0.4 to 1.2 mm
Whole balls	minimum 95%
Bulk density	790-820 g/l
Temperature range	0 to 80°C
pH range	4.5 to 8.5
Salinity	0 to 40 ppt (suitable for fresh and sea water)
Application	in a filter bag at a place with good currents or in an AquaCare PMR fluidized filter
Dosing recommendation	100 ml X-Globuli per 100 litres aquarium volume 1 litre X-Globuli per 1000 litres aquarium volume If less is dosed, the filling lasts shorter, if more is dosed, it lasts longer.

The AquaCare Phosphate Adsorber has followig characteristics:

good performance
safe adsorption without re-sorption
not suitable for moving bed systems

For excellent performance and for a moving bed we recommend Phosphate-X-Globuli.

Matrix	iron hydroxide on a matrix
Size of grains	0.5 to 2 mm
specific surface, BET	230 m²/g
Total porosity	min. 70%
Bulk density	0,65 kg/l
pH value	in very soft water the pH may raise
Application	Put it in a filter bag at a place with good currents in the aquarium or filter sump - the phosphat concentration will drop within a few days; if the phosphate concentration raises again change the filter material.
Loading capacity	Phosphorus: 12-16 gP/kg Silicate: 8-10 gSiO2/kg Heavy metals: 6-8 g/kg In seawater, the loading capacity is considerably lower due to the high ion density.
