NT LABS Aquarium Phosphate Remover 180g

Description

“Comprehensive and easy to use, I often like to have a couple of bottles of Anti-Internal Bacteria treatment or Disease Solve to hand. Nice to know that I’m not the only one who rates these products!” Nathan Hill, the Associate Editor of Practical Fishkeeping Magazine
When to use :
Phosphate Remover covers a commonly overlooked area of aquarium keeping. Reduce the amount of phosphate in your fresh water aquarium and you will help inhibit the amount of Algae growth. Phosphate Remover permanently removes phosphate locking it away and starving the Algae of its food source. A suitably sized filter media bag is included for ease of use.
The spherical structure of NT Labs Phosphate Remover creates a regular, non-clumping matrix resulting in an optimised flow through the media. This optimised flow ensures maximum contact between the water and the media, ensuring high phosphate removal and longevity.
How to use :

Rinse well in tap water, place in filter media bag provided, and add to a filter compartment.
Replace after 2-3 months or if algae begins to appear.

Using NT Labs Phosphate Remover in SG tanks

Algae is relentless in Singapore, where warm 27-29C water and bright tanks near windows give it everything it needs. Phosphate is one fuel source many hobbyists overlook while chasing nitrate, and it creeps in through feeding, tap top-ups and decaying plant matter. We keep this NT Labs media on the shelf because dropping phosphate to a low, steady level quietly removes one of the main triggers behind persistent green film and hair algae.

This is a media you place in flow inside your filter rather than a dose you pour in, so it works continuously between maintenance sessions. In our experience the best results come from running it alongside good husbandry rather than as a standalone fix, since starving algae of phosphate only helps if light, feeding and circulation are also kept in check across a busy local setup.
