  • Removes silicate and phosphate
  • Spherical for optimal hydrodynamics
  • Irreversible binding

PhosGuard Dosing Tables

It is not recommended to overdose PhosGuard, as this can lower phosphate levels too rapidly and stress-sensitive invertebrates.  For reducing extremely high phosphate levels, replace PhosBond every 4 days.
