- Extremely high binding capacity
- Needs very little room in the filter system
- Simple Handling
- No influence on pH
- Does not release toxic substances back into the aquarium when exhausted
- 1000ml of RowaPhos will lower the phosphate level by 1ppm in a 500 gallon salt water tank (or a 1600 gallon freshwater tank).
*Works great in a canister filter or with TwoLittleFishie`s Phosban Reactor or Kent Marine`s Phos Reactor.
Tips for Use:
To obtain the best results from RowaPhos and to keep your tank at zero phosphate levels it is important when starting up a new tank or a tank with phosphate levels in that has matured, to use RowaPhos on a permanent basis.
RowaPhos will absorb phosphate, silicates and arsenic. It is entirely safe in both fresh and saltwater systems. It does not release, when exhausted, any chemicals back into the water. ie phosphate, silicates or arsenic.
It is currently being used on a saltwater fish tank and has been for the last four years with five times the recommended requirement and it is only changed when phosphate levels coming out of the canister, where it is placed, begin to rise after approximately six to seven months.
How to use:
- DO NOT RINSE ROWAphos BEFORE USE
- It must be kept damp at all times. It is not effective if it dries out.
- Unused ROWAphos should be kept sealed in it`s original container until required
- Place between two layers of wool in the filter canister
- Do not sprinkle into the aquarium
- Do not place in the filter without using the filter sock or surrounding it with wool
- Change the ROWAphos when a rise in phosphate levels is indicated
- When placed in the canister it is possible to measure zero phosphate leaving the canister, the flow should be turned down until that is achieved
- For a short time the aquarium water may turn slightly brown in color, because of flushing out some fine material. This is not harmful to fish or other organisms, and will disappear after a short period of time.
Note:
Unfortunately, most phosphate test kits available are not capable of reading low levels of phosphate. It is necessary in a saltwater fish tank to always keep your levels below 0.015ppm
