  Description
SeaChem PhosGuard is a high capacity and high efficiency filtration product for removing phosphates and silicates from marine or fresh water aquaria. Unlike competing products, PhosGuard is bead-shaped for optimum flow characteristics and has an exceptional porosity for enhanced capacity. PhosGuard has a working capacity to remove 20 to 60 mg/L phosphate in 100 gallons with a similar impact on silicates. It may be used continuously or intermittently, and will not release removed phosphate. PhosGuard will cause a decline in hair algae and enhance coral growth. Each liter treats up to 300 gallons. Marine or freshwater use.

Does it work??? by CHRIS
Experience Level: Intermediate
Posted on 9/22/2008 from CA UNITED STATES
Comments: Not sure how well this stuff works just yet but I've used it now for over a month and still seeing hair algae grow. I've recently purchased some bulk GFO as this stuff IMHO seems to work better at phosphate adsorption. I bought this stuff mostly because of it's larger granular size to use in my own DIY reactor but after I bought it I discovered it does not need to be fluidized but instead acts more like a pass-through sponge. Also, it assumes that the first amount you place in the system will be spent shortly thereafter (a few days) and then they recommend replacing the previous contents and then monitor PO4 to determine change. Since my test kit doesn't seem to indicate that I have any detectable PO4 I cannot say if this is or is not working since I still have Chaeto and hair algae growth.
I would not recommend this product to my friends.
