Tetra PhosphateMinus

More information

Tetra PhosphateMinus is your reliable solution for effectively reducing excess phosphate (PO43-) levels in your aquarium. Phosphate naturally accumulates in aquarium water due to the decomposition of organic matter, such as fish waste and leftover food or plant material. While it is essential for the health of aquatic creatures and plants—playing a crucial role in processes like photosynthesis—excessive levels (over 2 mg/L) can lead to unwanted plant growth and negatively impact water quality. Therefore, maintaining a low PO43- value is essential for a thriving aquatic environment. Tetra PhosphateMinus gently removes excess phosphate, lowering levels by up to 2 mg/L when used as directed. A key feature of this product is that it does not cloud the water or leave deposits on the substrate, ensuring a clean aquarium. The active ingredient, an organic iron compound, decomposes slowly and naturally within 48 hours, allowing beneficial microorganisms to break it down biologically. This process enables remaining phosphate residues to be absorbed and removed from the filter, making regular maintenance essential for optimal results. Importantly, Tetra PhosphateMinus effectively reduces PO43- levels without affecting carbonate hardness (KH), making it suitable for all freshwater aquariums, including those with soft water. This gentle yet effective formula ensures that all your aquarium inhabitants remain safe and healthy while enjoying a balanced ecosystem. For optimal results, shake the bottle well before use. The recommended dosage is 10 ml of Tetra PhosphateMinus for every 40 L of aquarium water; use the dosing cap provided for accurate measurement. To achieve your desired phosphate level, repeat this dosage every other day until you reach the target value. Additionally, ensure sufficient aeration in your aquarium (e.g. with the Tetra APS range) to support beneficial microorganisms and maintain balance. Choose Tetra PhosphateMinus for effective phosphate management and enjoy a balanced ecosystem in your aquarium!
