DUPLA MARIN SILIPHOS 840 ml / 800 gr

Description

Dupla Siliphos is an effective product for the removal of phosphates and silicates based on iron hydroxide, an ideal filtration medium for seawater and freshwater aquarium. the silicates. In aquariums phosphates grow from decomposed organic matter and are also the result of overfeeding, plant fertilizers or other decorative materials. They can also enter our aquarium by adding fresh tap water that contains phosphates. Phosphates are a key component of living organisms, but are considered harmful in high concentrations. In marine aquariums, high levels of phosphates inhibit the formation of calcium in hard corals. Due to the increased levels of nutrients, the zoocarbonates of corals of animal origin can be multiplied to such an extent that they cover the natural pigments of the corals. Corals turn brown. Another indication of high levels of phosphates and silicates (silicic acid) is the development of red or brown algae that often forms as a coating in the aquarium and is life threatening to various organisms. A PO4 level greater than 0,1 mg / lt may not be tolerated in a coral reef aquarium. Siliphos is also used to bind unwanted silicates in seawater aquariums. In freshwater aquariums the maximum content should be about 0,3 mg / lt. Elevated phosphate levels are often responsible for the development of unwanted algae, poor plant growth and deteriorating fish health.
