This Cut-to-fit Phosphate Removal filter pad is designed for use in ponds, marine, and freshwater aquariums to effectively remove and control phosphates. It is made of resilient fibers that trap free-floating debris and particulates, keeping your aquarium crystal clear. Simply place the pad in the path of flowing water to capture large and small particulates, as well as reduce phosphate spikes and toxic buildup. This pad can be combined with other filter pads for enhanced filtration. Regularly changing the Phosphate Removal Pad will improve water quality and promote the well-being of your aquatic pets by removing solid organic compounds and decreasing levels of ammonia and nitrate. It is suitable for all aquarium sizes and is a popular choice for multipurpose applications.

Initial Care Instructions

Once your coral arrives, float the sealed bag in your aquarium for 15–20 minutes to equalize temperature. Then, begin a drip acclimation process or slowly add small amounts of tank water to the bag every 5 minutes over 30–45 minutes.

2. Inspect and Dip:

Before placing the coral in your tank, inspect it for pests or hitchhikers. We strongly recommend using a coral dip solution to remove potential parasites or algae. Follow the dip instructions carefully and rinse with clean saltwater before introducing to your display.

3. Placement:

Start the coral in a low to moderate light and flow area to help reduce stress. Over the next week, gradually move it to its ideal lighting and flow conditions based on species needs.

4. Monitor Water Parameters:

Ensure stable water parameters (alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, salinity, etc.) and maintain good tank flow. Watch closely for signs of stress or tissue recession and adjust placement if necessary.

5. Patience Pays Off:

Corals often take a few days to fully open up after shipping. Give them time to adjust—avoid sudden lighting changes or overhandling during this period.
