P Beta is a phosphorus supplement developed by TRITON for reef aquariums. It is specially designed to combat cyanobacteria by restoring a consistent nutritional balance.
This product helps create nutrient levels close to the ratios defined by the TRITON method, promoting a biological competition unfavorable to cyanobacteria.
P Beta increases the availability of phosphorus in a controlled form, helping to stabilize biological activity and limit imbalances favorable to cyanobacteria.
It is intended for reef aquariums with excessively low phosphorus levels, a situation often associated with the appearance of cyanobacteria.
Reference dosage: 1 ml of P Beta per 100 L of aquarium water results in the following increases:
| Increase in phosphorus (P) | +0.035 mg/L |
| Increase in phosphates (PO4) | +0.1 mg/L |
The dosage should be adjusted gradually based on analyses and the response of the reef system.
In case of discoloration or browning of corals, it is recommended to immediately stop the dosage until normal coloration returns.
An N-DOC laboratory test is essential to accurately determine nitrogen, carbon, and phosphorus levels, and to assess the overall balance of the N:C:P ratio.
The use of P Beta should be part of a rigorous analytical monitoring approach to avoid any biological imbalance.
