Chemical filter media act directly on the water composition. Depending on their nature, they can influence the pH, hardness, or eliminate certain undesirable substances.
Phosphates mainly come from organic pollution in the aquarium, such as food leftovers, fish excretions, or the breakdown of organic matter. A high concentration of phosphates strongly promotes algae growth.
EHEIM phosphateout binds the phosphates present in the water and removes them from the aquatic cycle, thus contributing to cleaner water and a visible reduction in algae development.
EHEIM phosphateout is an iron-based chemical filter media specially developed for phosphate treatment. The iron reliably binds the phosphates and progressively removes them from the aquarium water.
When the phosphate content begins to increase again, it means the media is saturated and needs to be replaced.
This media is free from harmful substances and can be used in both freshwater and marine aquariums.
- Effectively reduces phosphate content
- Inhibits algae growth
- Iron-based composition, free from harmful substances
- Suitable for freshwater and marine water
- Single-use, replacement required after saturation
- Available in granules for external filters or cartridges for internal filters depending on the model
EHEIM phosphateout should be used in the filter, after mechanical and biological filtration. It is recommended to regularly check the phosphate level to determine the appropriate time for media replacement.
