PhosPlus support microbial growth and reproduction and will improve biological filtration by allowing microscopic plankton and bacteria to consume Carbon and Nitrogen. These bacteria can then be exported via mechanical filtration or used as food by other organisms in our aquariums, like sponges, corals, clams, tunicates, etc. PhosPlus is a natural source of PO4 that can be dosed to the aquarium in a controlled manner in order to achieve ideal PO4 levels. We recommend using PhosPlus to achieve PO4 levels of around 0.04 mg/l. Before dosing PhosPlus we recommend the use of reliable and precise Phosphate test kits to determine the levels of Phosphate in the aquarium. 1ml of PhosPlus will increase ~0.01ppm of PO4 in 100l of aquarium water. Once Phosphate levels are determined, we recommend only increasing 0.01-0.02ppm of PO4 per day by dosing the required amount and waiting 24h to test PO4 levels. This procedure should be repeated until the desired levels of PO4 are achieved.
