Regenerable Phosphate-Adsorption Resin for All Marine Fish & Reef Aquaria.
Overview:
Instructions and Guidelines:
Basic:
Prior to first use, rinse resin under a stream of purified water. For
initial application on aquarium, use 1 ml of PhosphātR per 1 US-gallon
of water in system and monitor phosphate concentration during usage.
Subsequent application of resin may be at the rate of 2 ml per 1
US-gallon.
Advanced:
Prior to first use, rinse resin under a stream of purified water. To a
point, effectiveness of resin is directly related to the reaction time
it has with aquarium water; the longer the reaction time, the more
effectively it will remove phosphate and silicate. Once phosphate
concentration (”[PO43-]”) has not changed for a period of 4 - 6 hours,
remove and regenerate resin, then reapply if necessary. In all cases,
the use of a mechanical pre-filter to remove particulate organic
material from water prior to its interaction with this media will
prolong effectiveness.Fluidized-bed filtration (recommended): follow
instructions of filter manufacturer for optimal volume of media to use
in reaction chamber; start at a low flow rate and adjust to keep media
in a steady roil within lower 2/3 of chamber; flow rate should not be
such that resin is ejected into aquarium. Canister filtration: Load
resin into filter cartridge as directed by filter manufacturer; leave
resin in place until [PO43-] reaches desired level or remains unchanged,
as directed above. Slowing the flow of water through the filter may be
required to obtain maximum effectiveness of resin. Passive filtration:
Place resin loosely in a 150µm mesh filter bag and locate in an area of
low- to medium-flow. Turning bag over once during usage will serve to
shift the resin beads and increases effectiveness of this method.
