EHEIM phosphateout
A chemical phosphate remover that helps prevent algae growth
EHEIM phosphateout is a unique iron-based compound designed for chemical filtration. This iron effectively captures phosphate, removing it from the water system and gradually lowering the phosphate levels in your aquarium. This process helps to curb algae proliferation within the tank.
If you notice an increase in phosphate levels and consequently in algae growth, it's an indication that the filter medium is exhausted and needs to be replaced.
EHEIM phosphateout is available for external filters in granulated form and for internal filters as a foam filter cartridge. It contains no harmful substances and is suitable for both freshwater and marine environments.

Depending on the type, chemical filter media can regulate the pH value and water hardness (such as peat) or lower phosphate levels and inhibit algae growth (like phosphateout).
The pH level of tap water typically ranges from 7.3 to 7.8, making it slightly alkaline. However, many ornamental fish thrive in more acidic conditions, requiring a pH below 7.0. EHEIM TORFpellets can help lower pH levels and decrease water hardness.
Phosphates primarily arise from organic waste in the aquarium water (such as fish remains and excrement) and contribute to algae blooms. EHEIM phosphateout binds these phosphates, effectively removing them from the water circulation.
For the internal filters aquaball and biopower, there are specialized foam cartridges available instead of granules. These cartridges are infused with the iron compound that captures phosphates. If you observe an increase in phosphate levels, it's a sign that the cartridge has reached its limit and must be replaced.
