The innovative slow filtration system for efficient reduction and maintenance of phosphates
A phosphate concentration of 0.05 mg/l or less is optimal for coral reef aquariums. At this low concentration, stony corals, in particular, grow very well and exhibit vivid coloration. Increased levels of phosphates, however, inhibit calcium carbonate formation and consequently slow down skeleton growth. At the same time, they lead to a loss in color, causing a brownish coloration in corals. Tropic Marin® offers the ELIMI-CONTROL Phosphate filter system to lower high concentrations and to maintain an optimal range of these detrimental compounds.
