Slow absorption phosphate removal resin that will not discolor the Water
Maxspect Nano-Tech Phosphree is a polymer resin that is chemically stable and will not leak any metal ions into the water column like commonly used metal-based absorbents. The slow absorption rate of Phosphree reduces stress by acclimating the aquarium inhabitants to the reduction of phosphate in the water column.
Maxspect Nano-Tech Phosphree
In contrast to the GFO on the right, Phosphree resin will not discolor the water or suspend in the water column.
Lab-Grade Granular Ferric Oxide
Granular ferric oxide or GFO will discolor and cloud the water even when rinsed well. Particles often disperse into the water column even when fully saturated with water and filtered by a series of sponges.
Available in two sizes:
250ml / 8.5 fl oz
250 ml (8.5 fl oz) of Maxspect Phosphree will remove 3 ppm of phosphate from a 1000 liters (264 gallons) marine/reef aquarium.
500ml / 17 fl oz
500 ml (17 fl oz) of Maxspect Phosphree will remove up to 3 ppm of phosphate from a 2000 liters (528 gallons) marine/reef aquarium.
The Phosphate Absorption Rate Test
The Phosphate Absorption Rate Test was performed in a controlled environment with three aquariums with 100L of seawater container 1.0ppm (±0.03) of phosphate. Tricalcium Phosphate was added to the water to achieve an equal phosphate level of 1.0ppm. A Hanna HI97713 Phosphate Low-Range Portable Photometer was used to test phosphate levels within the three test aquariums.
Tank A: 100L of seawater with 60ml of Iron-Based Absorbent Tank B: 100L of seawater with 60ml of Aluminum-Based Absorbent Tank C: 100L of seawater with 60ml of Nano-Tech Phosphree
60ml of each phosphate absorbent media was placed within a fine mesh bag, with medium water flow provided by a Gyre pump. Thee water samples of each of the three testing tanks were collected every 24hours for a duration of 8 days.
