Bioscape Phosphate Extraction Cubes 85+
Phosphate absorbing cubes that sit loose in your filter. Bioscape Phosphate Extraction Cubes are poly fibre pads cut into cubes about 4 x 3 cm and impregnated with a resin that absorbs phosphate, with 85 or more cubes in a pack. Phosphate feeds nuisance algae, and it builds up from decaying organic matter, overfeeding, overcrowding and too few water changes, so keeping it down helps keep algae under control.
Key features
- Fits most filters: canister filters, power filters (filters with a built-in motor, such as hang on the back types), trickle filters, wet/dry filters, pond filters and other mechanical filters.
- Loose cubes, so you can fill whatever space your media basket or tray has rather than cutting a sheet to fit.
- Replace every 30 to 60 days, depending on how quickly phosphate rises in your tank.

Suitable for, and not suitable for
Suitable for aquariums and ponds where phosphate keeps rising between water changes. It supports water changes and sensible feeding rather than replacing them. Bioscape does not say whether the cubes suit freshwater, marine or both, so ask us before using them in a reef tank.
Care
Start using the cubes once phosphate begins to rise above an acceptable level. Test your water regularly, and replace the cubes when the reading starts climbing again, usually within 30 to 60 days.
Warranty and delivery
Covered by your consumer guarantee rights under Australian Consumer Law against manufacturing faults. Ships by standard parcel post.
