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).

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.
