Brightwell Aquatics NeoPhos is a concentrated phosphate supplement used to increase phosphate (PO₄) levels in marine and freshwater aquariums. It's commonly used in reef tanks where phosphate has become too low due to aggressive filtration, media, or heavy nutrient export.
Key benefits:
- Raises phosphate safely and predictably
- Helps prevent nutrient starvation in corals
- Can improve coral coloration, growth, and polyp extension when phosphate is deficient
- Supports healthy zooxanthellae and overall coral metabolism
- Free of unnecessary organic additives
When to use:
- Your phosphate consistently tests at 0.00 ppm or below your target range
- Corals appear pale, have poor growth, or show signs of nutrient deficiency
- You're using phosphate-removing media or dosing carbon that has driven phosphate too low
Target phosphate for most reef aquariums:
- SPS-dominant reefs: 0.03–0.08 ppm
- Mixed reefs: 0.03–0.10 ppm
- LPS/soft coral reefs: 0.05–0.10 ppm (sometimes slightly higher is acceptable)
Important:
- Raise phosphate gradually and test frequently with a reliable checker, such as a Hanna Instruments ULR Phosphorus Checker
- Avoid increasing phosphate too quickly, as sudden changes can stress corals and encourage algae growth
- If nitrate is also very low, balancing both nutrients (rather than only increasing phosphate) often produces the best coral health and coloration
