Tetra PhosphateMinus

Tetra PhosphateMinus reliably removes excessive phosphate (PO4-) from the aquarium water.

Phosphate continuously accumulates in the aquarium water through the decomposition of organic substances such as fish excrement, food and plant residues. This is a natural process in the aquarium. However, the condition of the tap water used also has an effect on the PO4 value. Phosphate is essential for aquarium inhabitants and plants as it is required for many biochemical processes such as photosynthesis. However, an excessively high phosphate content in the aquarium (over 2 mg/l) promotes the growth of undesirable plants. Excessive levels of this nutrient can also impair the water quality.

The PO4 value should therefore be as low as possible (below 2 mg/l). Tetra PhosphateMinus gently and reliably removes excessive phosphate from the water (up to 2 mg/l if the recommended dosage is adhered to).

A major advantage of this product is that it does not lead to turbidity or deterioration of the aquarium water or to deposits on the substrate.

Its active ingredient - an organic iron compound - decomposes slowly and naturally. Within just 48 hours, the product is biodegraded by microorganisms in the aquarium and can be absorbed and removed by the aquarium filter together with the remaining phosphate residues.

The filter must therefore be cleaned regularly in order to completely remove the degraded phosphate from the ecosystem. T

etra PhosphateMinus reliably lowers the PO4 value without affecting the carbonate hardness (KH).

For this reason, the product is also suitable for aquariums with soft water. This makes Tetra PhosphateMinus a reliable and safe care product for all aquarium inhabitants.

• Reliably reduces high phosphate levels
• Works particularly gently and naturally thanks to the microorganisms in the aquarium
• Gentle and harmless for all aquarium inhabitants
• Does not cloud the water and leaves no deposits on the substrate
• Suitable for soft water (no minimum carbonate hardness required)
• Too high a phosphate content promotes undesirable plant growth
