EHEIM phosphateout 390g filter media

A highly effective phosphate remover that curtails algae proliferation.

EHEIM phosphateout is an innovative iron compound designed for chemical filtration. This iron actively binds phosphate, extracting it from the water cycle and progressively lowering the phosphate levels in your aquarium. This process primarily helps in preventing algae growth.

When phosphate levels rise, indicating increased algae development, the filter medium becomes depleted and needs to be changed.

EHEIM phosphateout is available in granulate form for external filters and as a foam cartridge for internal filters. It contains no harmful substances and is suitable for both freshwater and saltwater environments.

• Phosphate remover that inhibits algae growth
• Iron compound that is free from pollutants
• Suitable for both freshwater and saltwater
• Single use (replace when phosphate levels rise again)
• Available as granules for external filters, and foam cartridges for internal filters

Chemical filter media

Depending on the type, chemical filter media can affect the pH level and water hardness (like peat) or lower phosphate levels to control algae growth (as with phosphateout). The pH of tap water typically ranges from 7.3 to 7.8, indicating a slightly alkaline condition. However, many ornamental fish thrive in acidic water with a pH below 7.0. EHEIM PEAT pellets effectively reduce pH levels and water hardness.

Phosphates commonly arise from organic waste in aquarium water (such as leftover food and waste) and are a key factor in algae growth. EHEIM phosphateout captures the phosphate and removes it from the water cycle.
