TECO Marine Phosphate Remover is a safe, non-toxic phosphate remover made from a solution of fine, non-toxic, mineral particles. Add directly to the aquarium, preferably before mechanical filtration. The active ingredient, lanthanum chloride, works by absorbing phosphate ions while releasing chloride ions. In effect, it is an organic ion exchanger, which is highly selective towards phosphate ions. TECO PHOSPHATE REMOVER significantly reduces phosphates and improves turbidity. When dosed correctly, TECO Marine Phosphate Remover does not affect pH or alkalinity. Do not overdose.
Directions For Use
Test phosphate levels in pond or aquarium before use to determine phosphate level in aquarium or pond; only use if levels are 0.1ppm or greater.
TECO Marine Phosphate Remover will create a temporary cloud in aquarium or pond. This will clear rapidly. Overdosing may result in clouding the water for several hours.
Shake well before use. Add to high flow area of aquarium or pond. In reef systems with sumps, add TECO Marine Phosphate Remover just before the overflow. Do not remove more than 1ppm per day. Apply each treatment every other day until desired phosphate levels are reached.
