Aquamedic Antiphos Fe

Aquamedic Antiphos Fe

Phosphate and silicate remover for freshwater and saltwater aquariums antiphos Fe is an ideal medium for selectively extracting phosphate and silicate from aquarium water, thus counteracting unwanted algal growth. antiphos Fe is a highly active iron based product containing no aluminium and is completely non toxic to aquarium plants and animals. Phosphate is irreversibly bound to the antiphos Fe and is removed from the aquarium when the antiphos Fe is renewed. It is particularly effective in controlling phosphate in coral reef aquariums and can reduce the phosphate concentration to very low levels for a considerable time. The coarse particle size of antiphos Fe enables high water flow rates, so fluidised filter beds are not required. The binding capacity of antiphos Fe is c. 10g phosphate/kg.
Subject to the conditions 500 ml of antiphos Fe will treat a normally populated 300l aquarium for c. 3 ? 6 months.

If you just buy the fish tank get a pump that will turn over all the water in the tank at least 7 times an hour. For example a Tetratec Air Pump APS400 can move between 200litres to 400litres of water per hour so it is suitable for aquariums up to a 60 litres. If you are hoping to stock tropical fish in your aquarium and it doesn’t come with a heater you also need to buy one. The Tetratec HT range of heaters are reliable and easy to use and come in various sizes to suit the size of your aquarium....
