{"product_id":"quantum-phosphate-remover","title":"Quantum Phosphate Remover","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuantum Phosphate Remover\u003c\/strong\u003e is a purified lanthanum solution that strips phosphate out of marine and reef aquariums, including the chemically bound phosphate your test kit cannot see. Excess phosphate fuels nuisance algae, browns out coral tissue, and slows skeletal growth by interfering with calcium carbonate uptake. Dosed daily against your measured phosphate level, it brings PO4 down quickly and keeps it there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee the rest of our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/squeakysaquatics.com\/collections\/quantum-usa\"\u003eQuantum lineup\u003c\/a\u003e or shop everything \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/squeakysaquatics.com\/collections\/salt-water\"\u003esaltwater\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 14px 0 4px; font-size: 1.05em; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.25; border-left: 4px solid #006064; padding-left: 8px;\"\u003eWhat It Does\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRemoves ionic AND bound phosphate:\u003c\/strong\u003e phosphate binds to calcium in reef water, hiding from test kits and causing calcium swings.
