Description
Safely lower excess phosphates without risking tissue necrosis or parameter shocks using Maxspect Nano-Tech Phosphree. Unlike traditional metal-based GFO media, Phosphree utilizes a chemically stable, polymer-based resin designed to absorb phosphate gradually while preventing metal ion leaching, water discoloration, and sudden parameter drops.
Detailed Product Overview
Rapid drops in orthophosphates (PO4) often induce severe stress in corals, frequently triggering Rapid Tissue Necrosis (RTN) or Slow Tissue Necrosis (STN) in delicate SPS species. Maxspect Nano-Tech Phosphree resolves this challenge by offering a controlled, steady rate of phosphate absorption that gives corals ample time to acclimate.
Formulated with advanced polymer resin technology, Phosphree is non-metallic and non-friable. It will not break down into fine dust particles, cloud your water column, or leak aluminum or iron ions back into the aquarium—making it a safer, cleaner, and more reliable alternative to standard Granular Ferric Oxide (GFO) or aluminum oxide media.
Key Features
- Controlled & Gradual Absorption: Reduces phosphate (PO4) levels at a slow, stable rate to prevent shocking sensitive corals and macroalgae.
- Non-Metallic Polymer Resin: Highly stable compound that will not leach iron, aluminum, or other heavy metal ions into the water column.
- No Dust or Cloudiness: Robust media structure resists mechanical tumbling degradation, preventing fine particulate dust from entering display tanks or damaging pump impellers.
- Water Clarity Protection: Absorbs targeted dissolved phosphates without stripping essential trace elements or tinting aquarium water.
- Universal Application: Suitable for placement in media bags, reactor chambers, media cups, or high-flow sump baffles in both saltwater marine and freshwater setups.

Usage Instructions & Dosing
- Rinse Before Use: Briefly rinse the media with RO/DI water to clear any loose surface particles.
- Placement: Load Phosphree into a mesh filter bag, media reactor, or media cup in a low-to-moderate flow area of your sump or filter.
- Flow Adjustment: If using a fluidizing media reactor, set water flow so the resin gently fluidizes without violent tumbling.
- Replacement Schedule: Monitor water phosphate levels weekly with a reliable test kit or colorimeter; replace the resin once PO4 concentrations begin to rise or plateau.
