Easy Reefs PKO 250

-PKO is an ionically modified bentonite for the control of dissolved phosphate in both freshwater and saltwater aquariums and ponds. By reacting with dissolved phosphate, it creates a new stable and insoluble element, permanently removing this element from the water column.

This APP has been developed to ease the use of PKO phosphate reductor. PKO calculator works with stoichiometric algorithms and takes into consideration differences between real aquarium volume and theoretical volume. Continuous phosphate inputs, are also valued. However, this calculator gives you a future prediction based in a continuous maintenance without aleatoric interferences, like changes in the feeding regime, input or output of fish, punctual phosphate dosage… Therefore, PKO calculator results must be and orientation treatment for an optimized PKO use.

1: Fill in the white cells of the “Aquarium system parameters” cells. Make sure that the “Analysis of control” box does not have any values ​​entered in the white cells.

2: In “Main Treatment” the dilution that you must carry out is shown, how much to add to the aquarium each 24h and how long to do it.

3: When 24 hours or more have passed, analyze the phosphate in the aquarium and fill in the two white cells in the “Analysis of control” cells. The initial protocol will be corrected and adjusted to the specific characteristics of your aquarium.

Treatments longer than 30 days with the same dissolution are not recommended, so PKO calculator make treatements for 30 days maximum. If the treatment needs more than 30 days to reach the desired phosphate measure you will need to reset the calculator with your new parameters after finishing the first treatment. If you finish the PKO treatment and the phosphate measure is still high, restart the calculator with your parameters to get a new treatment.
