Quantum Reef Essential® AR Phosphate Remover™

A specialised liquid supplement engineered to eliminate both ionic and chemically bound phosphate from marine and reef aquariums, helping reduce nuisance algae and stabilise calcium and alkalinity levels.

Key Benefits & Features

  • Removes both ionic and calcium-bound phosphate, which test kits often miss, ensuring accurate phosphate control and preventing hidden buildup behind low readings.

  • Helps restore calcium stability and avoids false lows that can impact coral growth.

  • Uses purified lanthanum in deionised water to precipitate phosphate into filter wool or socks for easy removal.

  • Must be used in aquariums with protein skimmers; best dosed into high-flow areas of the system.

  • Overdosing can result in a fine white film on the glass; wear indicates dosing should be adjusted and glass cleaned with Quantum’s White Film Remover pads.

Dosage Guidelines

Measure dosage using the supplied measuring cup or cap (1 cap ≈ 10 mL). To convert from dosage drops to mL: ~20 drops = 1 mL.

Daily dosage per 100 L / 26 US gal:

  • Phosphate level 0.03–0.25 ppm → 0.1–1.0 mL/day (~1–10 drops)

  • 0.25–1.0 ppm → 0.5–2.5 mL/day (~5–25 drops)

  • 1.0–5.0 ppm → 1.0–5.0 mL/day (~10–50 drops)

  • 5.0–10 ppm → 5.0–10.0 mL/day (~50–100 drops)

  • >10 ppm → 10 mL/day (100 drops)

Usage & Storage Tips

  • Shake is not required unless the product has been sitting; in that case, gently invert before use.

  • Dose into the sump or return line where flow is high for best mixing.

  • Do not overdose—monitor glass surfaces and reduce dosing if a white film forms.

  • Not suitable for freshwater or planted tanks; only for saltwater reef systems with active protein skimmers.

Why Choose AR Phosphate Remover™?

Quantum AR Phosphate Remover™ is ideal for reef aquarium setups prone to phosphate buildup, offering a dual-action formulation that removes both free and chemically bound forms.
