Description
Sicce ZeroPhos is a phosphate-removing resin for freshwater aquariums. Phosphate builds up from leftover food, decaying plants and fish waste. A small amount helps plants grow, but too much feeds nuisance algae, which looks untidy and can compete with your plants.
ZeroPhos is designed to start lowering phosphate within about 48 hours, then keeps working to hold it at a level that still suits plants. It doesn’t alter pH, and it also helps reduce dissolved silicates, another nutrient linked to algae.
Key Features
- Removes phosphate: Helps lower excess phosphate in aquarium water.
- Fast acting: Designed to start working within about 48 hours.
- Ongoing control: Keeps phosphate at a plant-friendly level after the initial drop.
- Reduces silicates: Also helps lower dissolved silicates.
- pH stable: Doesn’t change your aquarium’s pH.
- Ready-to-use pouches: Resin beads come in mesh pouches that go straight into your filter.
Suitable For: Freshwater aquariums, including planted tanks.
