Includes Trace Elements Like Iodide, Fluoride & Bromide
Description
Tropic Marin Phos-Start contains natural marine biopolymers as bacterial food to stimulate the microbiome in the startup phase of the new marine aquarium.
Phos-Start is particularly well suited for starting reef tanks using dry rock or for bare bottom tanks. These aquariums typically have a low supply of organic bacterial food and nutrients to stimulate bacterial and coralline algae growth. Phos-Start will fill the gap in nutrient and mineral supply and works to promote good coralline algae growth. It also prepares the aquarium to support and grow corals, including the most sensitive SPS.
The microbiome is supplied with vital particulate phosphate as well as bacterial food, calcium, and trace elements as fine particles. The nutrients are dosed in a targeted manner, avoiding unwanted nutrient increases in the water column. Later, these particles can be easily filtered out of the water and/or utilized by the corals resulting in increased coral growth with natural forms in the skeletal structure and bright colors, just like in a thriving coral reef under natural conditions.
After completion of the system cycling and first 2-3 months of the system’s operation, we recommend Tropic Marin Phos-Feed for targeted phosphate dosing.
