This product removes phosphate very well by precipitating out phosphates.
I used less than 1/5 of the max amount listed. My fish were notably stressed. My Pacifiv blue tang was near death for several days. He managed to survive but I was very surprized My more robust fish were not excited about the change but they were OK.
I would not recomend this product for aquarists with "tricky" fish.

I was dieing with black beard algae. Everything was being choked and I found out that my tap water was also loaded. I also over feed a little but it is OK because I can maintain low phosphate with this product

I have used a variety of phosphate removal medias. They all help, but this product really reduces the phosphates quickly. My phosphates went from 0.04 to 0.00 in two applications at half strength. Some zoos recoiled for a few days, but recovered. The phosphate removal medias held the phosphates down. This product is a good one to get phosphates down below the .03 recommendation. I use it occasionally to keep the phosphate level at zero.

Not many products around today that you can say that about. After reading the 1st post I was a bit cautious but a little checking indicated that the information was likely user error than product error. I dosed into the return from my skimmer chamber, the water did get a little cloudy but when the clouds cleared so did the PO4. In my case I had a return pump fail (while I was away) and came back to a diatom outbreak and PO4 at .15; in 2 doses (1/2 bottle each) over a couple days the diatoms where gone, and the PO4 was down to .04. I now run a Deltec FR509 with 1 ltr of Rowaphos loaded to keep levels down but I keep a bottle of Blue Life Phosphate Control around for emergencies!

I was hoping this would be a great product. I dosed at half the amount being really careful of my corals. My zoo's retracted and still aren't the same. I did an emergency water change and put carbon in my diatom and ran that. It did help some. It will be awhile before they recover, even at half dose. I will say this, it did actually get rid of some of my flat worms. That night they were being sucked in out of the system. My corals are too important to me to use that so less feeding, continue rinsing any frozen foods that use phosphate in the binding process, more water changes. At least I didn't loose any livestock. I carefully monitored the situation, as I would any medications.

I was a little worried about using this product, so I cut back the dose to slowly make the change in Phosphate level come down. So far atfer 10 days everything looks good, and I have seen no aftereffects. Much easier than a sponge product.
