Fauna Marin Ultra Phos is a way to remove high phosphates from your aquarium in a quick and effective manner. It is an activated aluminium based absorber which, when used per the instructions, safely removes phosphates from the aquarium.
The phosphate particles are bound to the surface of the Phos media and will not be released again, as a result, this can maintain very low nutrient concentrations in your tank. Unwanted algae growth will be stopped and corals will show their natural colours.
** Ultra Phos is not suitable for ULNS, and should only be used in aquariums that are nutrient rich. Due to the products effectiveness and strength, close monitoring should be done to prevent nutrients from depleting to undetectable levels. It is recommended that phosphates are checked regularly, and dosages are adjusted based on results.
Dosage recommendations:
As with any new product in your aquarium, please do all changes in the aquarium carefully and slowly.
Start with 50 grams per 200 L (50 gal) of water.
After 14 days the dose can be increased up to 100 grams per 200 L (50 gal) of water, do NOT overdose!
In case the PO4 level starts to increase again, exchange Ultra-Phos for fresh material. Do not use more than 100 g (3.5 oz) per 200 L (50 gal). We recommend to place the material in a filter chamber with high flow, only there it will provide its maximum performance.
In aquariums with extremely low phosphate (PO4) levels and non-detectable Nitrate levels Ultra-Phos should not be used.
To obtain best results and maximize absorption efficiency, place the material between two layers of filter wool/floss or use a fluidized-bed-reactor.
If you use the material in a fluidized bed reactor, please consider the much higher efficiency of the material. Reduce the amount of Ultra-Phos by 50 % and carefully control the flow through the filter.
Ultra-Phos will become warm, when first immersed in water. Do not rinse the material.
Caution: Keep aout of reach of children. Not to be used in aquariums with animals used for food production. Do not inhale, do not swallow. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
