Seachem PhosGuard rapidly removes inorganic and organic phosphate and prevents buildup in your aquarium. Highly porous, high capacity beads resist compaction for optimum water flow essential for effective aquarium phosphate removal. 100ml treats 60 gallons.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\nNote: PhosGuard is not recommended for phosphate buffered freshwater.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\t\t\u003c!--\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\u003cstrong\u003eDirections for Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFor best results, PhosGuard should be placed so as to maximize the flow of water through it. It may be used in a canister filter, box filter, or any high flow area of a trickle filter. In some situations, it may be necessary to use in a filter bag. Use 85 mL (1\/3 cup) for every 200 L (50 US gallons) saltwater or 400 L (100 US gallons) freshwater. Leave product in place for 4 days, then test phosphate or silicate concentrations with MultiTest Phosphate Test Kit (DFS# 901377).\n\u003cp\u003e\nIf the concentration of phosphate has not dropped to around 0.02 mg\/L, then replace the PhosGuard, otherwise leave in place until levels begin to climb again. As long as concentrations remain under control, the product is not exhausted. Each 500 mL of PhosGuard treats over 150 gallons (i.e. will remove up to 30 mg\/L phosphate in 150 gallons of water, depending on the initial phosphate\/silicate concentrations and the current biological load. Over treating is not recommended. PhosGuard is not an exchange resin - it does not release anything into the water. It does not leach phosphate or silicate back into the water and may be removed, dried, and returned to service until exhausted. Continuous use of small quantities is better than intermittent use of larger quantities.\n\u003cp\u003e\nCaution!\nMay generate heat on initial contact with water. Pre-wet by adding to a double volume of freshwater (e.g. 250 mL of product in 500 mL water), followed by a rinse.\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e General Information \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPhosGuard rapidly removes phosphate and silicate from marine and freshwater aquariums. It is not recommended for phosphate buffered freshwater. PhosGuard is highly porous for high capacity and bead-shaped for optimum water flow. It outperforms all competing products.\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhy It's Different\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPhosGuard is spherical. Its shape allows for maximum water flow through the media. Granular phosphate removers can become compacted, dramatically limiting their capacity to remove phosphate. If the media can't come into contact with the water, it can't remove phosphate from it. PhosGuard is the only spherical phosphate remover on the market. \n\u003cp\u003e\nNOTE: Aluminum Oxide IS NOT REGENERABLE. No matter what anyone tells you, baking an aluminum oxide media does not restore its capacity to remove phosphate. This misconception comes from the product's original intended use: industrial air-drying. Obviously, if a product absorbs moisture, the best way to remove that moisture is to bake it out. However, that only removes the water, not the contaminants contained in that water.--\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhosGuard\u003c\/strong\u003e - 100mL treats 60 gallons\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirections\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nMay 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 85 mL (1\/3 cup) for every 200 L (50 US gallons) saltwater or 400 L (100 US gallons) freshwater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLeave product in place for 4 days, then test phosphate or silicate concentrations with either MultiTest™: Phosphate or MultiTest™: Silicate.
