Pro-Coral Organic
Reduces phosphate levels, promotes growth of anthozoa and optimises nutrient balance.
Phosphates accumulate quickly in marine aquariums and are responsible for some of the most destructive effects of all nutrients. In addition to encouraging unwanted algae growth, phosphates slow the skeletal growth of stony corals. Tropic Marin Pro-Coral Organic supplies readily available nitrogen compounds and balances nutrient levels. Just like in the ocean, when sufficient trace elements are present, anthozoans will absorb nitrogen and phosphates. This results in a reduction of the phosphates with no rise in the nitrate level. The magnesium content of Pro-Coral Organic also aids in the reduction of any excess phosphate level.
With regular additions of Pro-Coral Organic anthozoan growth is visibly increased, especially among leather corals and anemones. Stony corals show deeper coloration and increased fluorescent pigmentation. The skeletal structure of the colonies grows stronger and develops in a pattern that more closely mimics their natural development in the wild. The polyps of Anthozoa become more engorged and open, and the animals develop increased resistance to changes in water quality.
To prevent phosphate buildup before it develops, use lower doses of Pro-Coral Organic and maintain optimum water chemistry.
but what bothers me is on the holder it says a slight increase in nitrate levels are usually harmless but here they say there is no nitrate raising stuff... how safe is it to use can you guys tell me ?
