Description
Liquid phosphate remover—dramatically reduces phosphates. Excessive amounts of phosphates can lead to serious problems in your pond, including green water, unpleasant odour or too little dissolved oxygen. Starver-p corrects phosphate levels and is safe for fish, shrimp, snails, turtles and other aquatic life. 1 litre treats up to 100,000 litres of water.
Directions: Add 5ml to 500 litres of water every 2 to 3 days. If phosphate levels are greater than 1ppm, Algae Starver should be used at 5ml to 250 litres until algae subsides.
Once you have completed the treatment, take a water sample to your aquarium or pond professional to be tested for phosphates. Once you have achieved a phosphate level of less than 0.02ppm, add a maintenance dose of 5ml to 500 litres every 2 weeks.
More effective in alkaline water. Acidity can reduce effectiveness.
