High phosphate feeds hair algae and cyanobacteria and can slow skeleton growth on stony corals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse it in a fluidised reactor or a bag in strong flow. It is made not to swing pH or strip the trace elements livestock need. Brown dust on first use is normal. Do not rinse it off; it is part of the media.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePhosphate and silicate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Holds them in the media so they are not left in the water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlgae:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lower PO4 means less fuel for nuisance algae.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReef:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suitable for fish, invertebrates, and corals when used as directed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fluidised reactor or high-flow mesh bag.
