Phosphate Reducer™

Phosphate Reducer Packs

PCS Phosphate Reducer is a very efficient and effective iron-based liquid phosphate reducer.

This reducer is like a liquid version of Granular Ferric Oxide but much easy and very simple to use.

You require no reactor, no extra plumbing, and no messy rising.

Always know when the media is exhausted and no swings in phosphate levels.

When the Phosphate Reducer is dosed in the return pump chamber of the sump, the phosphate reducer starts to work immediately. The iron/phosphate reaction can be seen in the water column as a smoky blue tint within minutes.

As the water returns to the sump, the iron/phosphate particles are removed by mechanical filtration or bind to the air/water surface and are removed by the skimmer within an hour or two.

Unlike Granular Ferric Oxide you know when the iron/phosphate reaction is exhausted.

When set up to dose daily on a dosing pump, you can reduce the residual phosphate in the substrate by continually keeping the phosphates lower in the water column. Once these residual phosphates are exhausted, you can then balance the daily dose to the daily input of phosphate from food.

You now can keep any level of phosphate you desire.

Please note: Start by dosing smaller amounts to give your system and fish time to get accustomed to the lowering phosphates and increase of Iron2 in the water column.
