Description
Seachem Phosguard 1L — Bulk Bottle Pack Spherical Chemical Filter Media to Control Toxic Phosphate & Silicate in Medium-to-Large Aquariums
Seachem Phosguard 1L (SKU: 724973-187) is a bulk chemical filter media formulated for medium-to-large aquariums requiring rapid control over phosphate and silicate levels. By binding dissolved inorganic phosphate, it inhibits nuisance algae growth and supports healthy hard coral skeletal development in marine reef tanks.
Manufactured with high-porosity spherical beads, Phosguard allows uniform water movement through the media container. It acts quickly upon installation and binds phosphate tightly, ensuring no chemical leaching occurs once the media reaches its capacity limit.
