Phosphate Increaser

Phosphate Increaser is a precise and reliable solution designed to raise phosphate levels in ultra-low nutrient reef systems. Maintaining balanced phosphate is essential to prevent coral stress, colour loss, and slow growth. By supporting zooxanthellae health, this product helps enhance coral colouration and promote strong, sustained growth.

Key Benefits

• Increases phosphate by 0.1 ppm per 1 mL per 100 L.
• Prevents coral stress from phosphate deficiency.
• Supports healthy zooxanthellae function and energy production.
• Enhances coral colouration and polyp extension.
• Promotes balanced nutrient ratios for optimal reef stability.

How It Works

Phosphate Increaser provides a controlled source of phosphate to ultra low nutrient systems. Many modern reef tanks run nutrient levels that are too lean, which can negatively affect coral health. By replenishing phosphate in a measured way, the product helps restore balance to the nitrogen-to-phosphorus ratio, ensuring corals have access to the nutrients they need for growth, colour, and resilience.

Dosing Guidelines

• Standard Dose: 1 mL per 100 liters (26 gallons) increases phosphate by approximately 0.1 ppm.
• Target phosphate levels between 0.01 ppm and 0.05 ppm.
• Start with a lower dose and gradually increase based on testing.
• Every reef system has a unique consumption rate test phosphate frequently and adjust dosing as needed.

Application Tips

• Dose into a high-flow area of your sump or display tank for even distribution.
• Automatic dosing pumps are ideal for consistent and accurate adjustments.
• Always test phosphate before and after dosing to avoid overshooting.
• Maintain a balanced nitrate-to-phosphate ratio (~100:1 is ideal).

Safety & Handling

• Not for human consumption.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Avoid contact with skin or eyes; wear gloves and eye protection.
• If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical advice if irritation persists.

Best Used When

• Corals show signs of stress, pale colour, or slowed growth due to nutrient deficiency.
• Phosphate consistently measures below 0.01 ppm.
• You want to maintain stable nutrient levels to support vibrant coral health.
• As part of a regular nutrient management program in low-nutrient reef aquariums.
