First of all undesirable algae growth might result.

Also avoiding use of phosphate-rich low-grade activated carbon helps keep phosphate levels as low as possible. Checking the activated carbon for phosphate prior to use is therefore highly recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eElevated concentrations of phosphate can be removed by using the liquid \u003cstrong\u003ePhosphate-Eliminator\u003c\/strong\u003eor the highly effective granular \u003cstrong\u003ePhosphate-Killer\u003c\/strong\u003e.

This makes phosphate measurement highly reliable and informative allowing timely measures to be taken.
