Juwel Phorax Bioflow 6.0 / Standard

JUWEL Phorax is a very effective filter medium used to break down phosphates in the aquarium. This effectively reduces the growth of algae and can contribute to improved plant growth. Phosphate enters aquariums through fish feed and is not normally broken down. But plants use only small amounts of phosphate for their natural growth (fresh water: 0.05 mg/l, salt water 0.01 mg/l). Too much phosphate can in some cases trigger increased algae growth. Phorax consists of an aluminum mineral that binds loose phosphate by creating a water-insoluble aluminum phosphate and removing it from the water. This makes JUWEL Phorax highly effective at binding up to 12 mg of phosphate per grams of Phorax. >reduces phosphate >delays algae growth >promotes plant growth >suitable for use in freshwater and saltwater aquariums >LxWxH: 12x12x5cm
