Tropic Marin Phos-Feed – Targeted Phosphate Nutrition for Ultra-Low Nutrient Systems

Tropic Marin Phos-Feed is a specialized phosphate supplement designed to provide a safe and controlled source of orthophosphates for reef aquariums. In modern reef keeping, high-performance filtration and carbon dosing can lead to Ultra-Low Nutrient Systems (ULNS) where phosphate levels become undetectable. This scarcity can lead to coral starvation, tissue loss, and pale coloration. Phos-Feed allows hobbyists to precisely lift phosphate levels to a biological "sweet spot," ensuring corals have the essential nutrients required for metabolic function and growth.

Essential Nutrient Delivery & Biological Stability

Phos-Feed provides a clean, predictable way to prevent nutrient limitation and maintain the delicate balance of your reef's ecosystem.

Prevents Coral Starvation: Delivers the primary phosphorus building blocks necessary for the production of ATP and cellular energy in coral tissue.
Enhances Natural Coloration: By preventing nutrient-driven stress, it helps corals maintain deep, vibrant pigments and healthy zooxanthellae populations.
Ultra-Pure Formula: Engineered to introduce orthophosphates without adding unwanted organics, nitrates, or heavy metal contaminants.
Stabilizes Micro-Biology: Helps maintain the Redfield Ratio ( $C:N:P$ ) within the tank, preventing the biological crashes or cyanobacteria outbreaks often associated with bottomed-out nutrients.
Highly Accurate Dosing: Formulated for precision, allowing for micro-adjustments to target the ideal range of 0.02 to 0.05 mg/L.

FAQ Section: Common Questions
- When should I use Tropic Marin Phos-Feed? You should consider Phos-Feed if your phosphate levels are consistently testing at 0.00 mg/L and you notice signs of coral stress, such as tissue recession or extremely pale colors.
- How much should I dose? The standard dosage is 10 mL per 100 L (26 US gal) to increase phosphate by 0.01 mg/L. Always start with a half-dose and monitor the tank's response via high-sensitivity testing.
- Can Phos-Feed cause algae blooms? If dosed excessively or used in a tank that is already nutrient-rich, it can lead to nuisance algae. It is strictly intended for systems suffering from phosphate limitation.
- Do I need to turn off my skimmer? No, it is not necessary to turn off your protein skimmer when dosing Phos-Feed, as it is a liquid inorganic supplement that is quickly absorbed by the biological community.
