Tropic Marin Elimi-Phos Rapid 500ml (Lanthanum based)

• Extremely rapid removing of high phosphate concentration
• Highly-effective solution on the basis of Lanthanum

• Suitable for freshwater and saltwater aquaria.

Ingredients

Tropic Marin Elimi-Phos Rapid is based on lanthanum.

Application & Dosage

Measure the phosphate concentration in your aquarium and then calculate the required amount of Tropic Marin Elimi-Phos Rapid. The addition of 10 ml per 100 l / 26 US-gal. of aquarium water reduces the phosphate concentration by up to 1 mg/l (ppm). We recommend reducing the phosphate concentration by no more than 0.1 mg/l (ppm) per day. This means that a maximum of 1 ml of Tropic Marin Elimi-Phos Rapid should be dosed slowly to 100 l / 26 US-gal. of water.

We recommend the following phosphate concentrations in the aquarium:

Freshwater: < 0.3–0.5 mg/l (ppm);
Seawater: 0.02–0.15 mg/l (ppm);
Reef aquaria: 0.03–0.1 mg/l (ppm).
Phosphate reduction treatment is most effective in tanks with a skimmer or a mechanical filter which will completely remove the flocculated phosphate from the system. A dropwise addition using a dosing pump would be optimal.

The following aspects should be considered:

Should you observe any signs of stress in individual organisms, especially corals, which are adapted to elevated phosphate concentrations, you should stop the treatment for 1–2 days or until the symptoms have disappeared and then continue with half the recommended dose.
Monitor the alkalinity – occasionally it can drop slightly. In this case, the alkalinity can be raised to its original level using Tropic Marin Liquid Buffer.
All organisms need a very small amount of phosphate; 0.00 mg/l (ppm) is not an advisable level for an aquarium. Tropic Marin Elimi-Phos Rapid should therefore not be used to excess.
Keep out of reach of children!

WARNING: Use of Elimi-Phos Rapid may kill existing swirl worms of the genera Waminoa, Concolutriloba and possibly also Acropora swirl worms. Tropic Marin Elimi-Phos Rapid, as many of the flatworms as possible should be aspirated to minimize the release of toxins from the swirl worms.
