Nuisance algae is usually a nutrient problem, and phosphate and nitrate are the two nutrients most often driving it. Sicce Zerophos and Zeronitra are dedicated resins for each, letting you target the specific nutrient actually causing your algae issue.
Why Target the Specific Nutrient
Phosphate and nitrate both fuel algae growth, but not every tank has an excess of both — a dedicated resin for the nutrient actually elevated in your water tests works faster and more predictably than a generic all-purpose product.
Choosing the Right Resin
- Zerophos — 2x50g — a phosphate-removing resin for reef tanks fighting nuisance algae driven by elevated phosphate levels.
- Zeronitra — 2x70g — a nitrate-removing resin for aquariums fighting elevated nitrate, whether from a heavy bioload, overfeeding, or a system that's fallen behind on water changes.
How to Use Them
- Test first to confirm which nutrient is actually elevated before choosing a resin.
- Run in a media bag in filter flow rather than loose in the sump.
- Retest periodically and replace media once levels stabilize or the resin's capacity is used up.
