Description: Seachem PhosGuardPhosGuard 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).Instructions:May generate heat on initial contact with water. Pre-wet by adding to a doublevolume of freshwater, followed by a rinse. For best results, PhosGuard should berinsed before use and placed so as to maximize the flow of water through it butnot so that it tumbles against itself in flow. It may be used in a canisterfilter, 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 USgallons) saltwater or 400 L (100 US gallons) freshwater.Leave product in place for 4 days, then test phosphate or silicateconcentrations with either MultiTest: Phosphate or MultiTest: Silicate. If theconcentration of the component you are trying to decrease has not dropped toaround 0.02 mg/L, then replace the PhosGuard, otherwise leave in place untillevels begin to climb again. As long as concentrations remain under control, theproduct is not exhausted. Over treating is not recommended. PhosGuard is not anexchange resin and does not release anything into the water. It does not leachphosphate or silicate back into the water and may be removed, dried, andreturned to service until exhausted. Continuous use of small quantities isbetter than intermittent use of larger quantities.
