26 Phosphate is required only in little amounts as a plant nutrient. In case of accumulation it often causes algae problems. sera phosvec Gra nulat removes phosphate easily, safely and with a long-term effect. sera biopur and sera biopur forte as well as sera siporax Profes sional allow settling of purification bacteria to break down pollutants biologically. These filter media are recommended if only little break- down performance is required, e.g. in densely planted aquariums with few fish. As shown on page 24, sera siporax Professional has a biological breakdown performance that is 34 times higher compared to clay filter material. Therefore, sera siporax Professional has an excel- lent price vs. performance ratio. Filtration according to natureTechnical equipment
