{"product_id":"phosphate-minus-1000ml","title":"Aquaforest Phosphate Minus 1000mL","description":"\u003cp\u003eAquaforest Phosphate Minus is an efficient adsorption medium that pulls phosphate and silicate out of marine aquarium water. Overfeeding and heavy supplementing drive phosphate up, which fuels green algae and cyanobacteria. Phosphate Minus binds large amounts of phosphate without harming tank inhabitants, so it works in both new tanks (to prevent spikes) and mature tanks (to lower PO4 and stabilize water chemistry).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart of the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/aquaforest\"\u003eAquaforest\u003c\/a\u003e reef range.
