Tips for use of Rowaphos:

To obtain the best results from RowaPhos and to keep your tank at zero phosphate levels it is important when starting up a new tank or a tank with phosphate levels in that has matured, to use RowaPhos on a permanent basis.

RowaPhos will absorb phosphate, silicates and arsenic. It is entirely safe in both fresh and saltwater systems. It does not release, when exhausted, any chemicals back into the water. ie phosphate, silicates or arsenic.

It is currently being used on a saltwater fish tank and has been for the last four years with five times the recommended requirement and it is only changed when phosphate levels coming out of the canister, where it is placed, begin to rise after approximately six to seven months.

How to use:

1. Never wash the product.
2. It must be kept damp at all times, it is not effective if it dries out. therefore, replace the lid if not using all of the container.
3. Place product between two layers of filter wool in a canister filter.
4. Do not sprinkle into the aquarium.
5. Do not place it into water without surrounding it with filter wool.
6. When placed in the canister it is possible to measure zero phosphate leaving the canister, the flow should be turned down until that is achieved.

Note:
Unfortunately, most phosphate test kits available are not capable of reading low levels of phosphate. However, there is a professional kit available from us (D-D Phosphate Test Kit) that measures phosphate levels from 0, the first reading being 0.015, upto 0.14.

It is necessary in a saltwater fish tank to always keep your levels below 0.015ppm.
