Description
The article discusses the benefits of using JUWEL Phorax to reduce the growth of algae and promote plant growth. Phosphates can get into aquariums through fish food, and can be harmful if too much is present. JUWEL Phorax consists of an aluminium mineral that binds dissolved phosphate and removes it from the water, making it effective at reducing the growth of algae. It is also suitable for use in freshwater and saltwater aquariums.
Juwel Phorax - Phosphate Remover
JUWEL Phorax is a highly effective filter medium used to break down phosphates in your aquarium. This effectively reduces the growth of algae and can contribute to improved plant growth.
Phosphate regularly gets into aquariums through fish food and are naturally very unlikely to be broken down. However, plants need only tiny quantities of phosphate for their natural growth (fresh water: 0.05 mg/l, saltwater 0.01 mg/l). Too much phosphate can, in some cases, trigger prolific algae growth.
Phorax consists of an aluminium mineral which binds dissolved phosphate by creating a water-insoluble aluminium phosphate and removing it from the water. This makes JUWEL Phorax highly effective, binding up to 12 mg of phosphate per gram of Phorax.
