What scares me is word "Rapidly" and this is why it is Not good for reef tanks !

Yes, you are correct, most things that happen in reef tanks “rapidly” are bad for the reef. However, most is not everything.

If the phosphate remover had the power to “tear” or “forcefully remove” phosphates from preexisting chemical bonds, that would be harmful – you’d be breaking down the animals! Fortunately, it does not do that. It only removes phosphates which are not already bound chemically to something else. So it does no harm if its removal of phosphates.

It is very similar to carbon’s removal of things that discolor water or removing chlorine from water. It is more or less instantaneous removal – as soon as the carbon contacts it, it is gone. But because it only impacts free compounds in the water, it harms nothing because it does not break any preexisting chemical bonds to do so.

Hope this information helps.
Thank you
