{"product_id":"ati-essential-phospho-500-ml","title":"ATI Essential Phospho - 500 mL","description":"\u003cp\u003eATI Essential Phospho is part of the ATI Essentials system for preventing phosphate deficiency in reef tanks. Phosphorus is a building block of coral biomass, and in systems with oversized skimmers, carbon dosing or refugiums it can bottom out, which ATI links to rapid tissue loss (RTN\/STN). Essential Phospho raises phosphate in small, predictable steps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:16px 0 4px;font-size:1.05em;font-weight:600;line-height:1.25;border-left:4px solid #006064;padding-left:8px;\"\u003eWhy phosphorus matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBiomass:\u003c\/strong\u003e Corals need phosphorus for DNA, cell membranes and energy transfer (ATP).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTarget range:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helps hold phosphate in the reef range of 0.03 to 0.1 mg\/L (ppm).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTissue protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Avoiding total phosphorus limitation protects stony corals from the tissue loss ATI associates with ultra-low nutrients.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBiological filtration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supports the microbial community that processes nitrogen.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:16px 0 4px;font-size:1.05em;font-weight:600;line-height:1.25;border-left:4px solid #006064;padding-left:8px;\"\u003eDosing\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 mL per 100 L (26 gal) raises phosphate by 0.015 mg\/L (ppm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAim for a stable 0.03 to 0.1 mg\/L (ppm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn a severely phosphorus-limited tank the dose may be used up almost immediately; ATI recommends dosing several times a day until levels stabilize\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe bottle contains 750 mg of phosphate in total\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:16px 0 4px;font-size:1.05em;font-weight:600;line-height:1.25;border-left:4px solid #006064;padding-left:8px;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;font-size:0.95em;\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px 10px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px 10px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;\"\u003eATI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px 10px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px 10px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;\"\u003eEssentials\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px 10px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px 10px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;\"\u003e500 mL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px 10px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px 10px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;\"\u003e750 mg phosphate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px 10px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDose\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px 10px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;\"\u003e1 mL per 100 L raises PO4 by 0.015 mg\/L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px 10px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px 10px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;\"\u003eSaltwater and reef\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px 10px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px 10px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;\"\u003e4260216216275\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:16px 0 4px;font-size:1.05em;font-weight:600;line-height:1.25;border-left:4px solid #006064;padding-left:8px;\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy add phosphate to a reef?\u003c\/strong\u003e If phosphate bottoms out, corals can lose tissue.
