Tropic Marin Phos-Start

Tropic Marin Phos-Start is based on the nutrient supply mechanisms seen in the natural coral reef environment. Insoluble, particulate excretions of fish or plankton supply corals with phosphate and all other necessary substances which are responsible for an intact microbiology, strong coral growth and beautiful colors. Tropic Marin has applied this knowledge in a novel product for the start-up of reef aquariums. Tropic Marin Phos-Start can be used to start all types of marine aquariums but is particularly well suited for starting reef aquariums using fully cured rock or reef ceramics and for bare bottom reef aquariums. Such aquariums have a low supply of organic bacterial food and nutrients to stimulate bacterial and coralline algae growth. Tropic Marin Phos-Start will fill the gap in nutrient and mineral supply in those aquariums and promote good coralline algae growth. It also prepares the aquarium to support and grow corals, including the most sensitive SPS corals.
