Description
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.
KEY FEATURES:
- Removes silicate and phosphate
- Spherical for optimal hydrodynamics
- Irreversible binding
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. Use 85mL (1/3 cup) for every 200 L (50 US gallons) saltwater or 400L (100 US gallons) freshwater.
