Description
API Phos-Zorb Treats 210L — Filtration media formulated to remove silicate and phosphate from aquarium water; treats up to 210 litres
API Phos-Zorb (SKU: BE3) is a specialised chemical filtration media formulated to selectively remove silicate and phosphate compounds from aquarium water. Treating systems up to 210 litres, it starves unwanted algae species by depriving them of key growth nutrients. PHOS-ZORB also enhances aquatic plant growth and reduces routine maintenance. Safe for both freshwater and saltwater aquariums.
Compounded in a pre-measured media pouch, Phos-Zorb helps prevent nuisance green water and hair algae blooms without releasing captured phosphate back into the tank.
Usage & Application
When to Use
-
Algae Control Outbreaks: Use when elevated phosphate levels lead to rapid algae blooms.
-
New Tank Setups: Prevents initial brown diatom blooms by adsorbing silicate leached from new gravel.
How to Use / Installation Process
-
Rinse the media pouch thoroughly under cold tap water before installation.
-
Insert the pouch into your filter chamber where water passes directly through the pouch.
-
Test phosphate levels regularly and replace the pouch when levels begin rising (typically every 1–2 months).
