Seachem® PhosGuard™ - Aquarium Filter Media for Fish Tanks

DESCRIPTION Seachem PhosGuard rapidly removes phosphate and silicate from marine and freshwater aquaria. Although PhosGuard is effective in both fresh and marine water, it will operate better in sea water and the need for it is better defined in sea water. It is not recommended for phosphate buffered freshwater (PhosGuard would remove the buffer until saturated). PhosGuard is highly porous and bead-shaped to promote easy water flow through and around it, thereby increasing both its efficiency and capacity.Features: Removes silicate and phosphate. Spherical for optima hydrodynamics. Irreversible binding. Includes: 100 MLIntended Pet(s): FishMaterial(s): Spherical Alumina OxideColor: WhiteProduct Dimensions: 3.00 x 3.00 x 6.31Product Weight: 0.21 lbs.Capacity: Up to 60 U.S. Gallons / 235 LDirections: May generate heat on initial contact with water. Pre-wet by adding to a double volume of freshwater, followed by a rinse. For best results, PhosGuard should be rinsed before use and placed so as to maximize the flow of water through it but not so that it tumbles against itself in flow. It may be used in a canister filter, media chamber, box filter, or any high flow area of a trickle filter. Use of a filter bag is recommended.
