Seachem PhosGuard Aquarium Water Conditioner
PhosGuard rapidly removes phosphate and silicate from marine and freshwater aquaria. Although PhosGuard™ is effective in both fresh and marine water, it operates better in seawater, where the need for it is more clearly defined.
PhosGuard™ is highly porous and bead-shaped, promoting easy water flow through and around the beads, which increases both its efficiency and capacity.

FAQ
Can PhosGuard be used in phosphate-buffered freshwater?
No, PhosGuard is not recommended for phosphate-buffered freshwater as it may remove the buffer until saturated.
How does PhosGuard improve water quality in aquariums?
PhosGuard rapidly removes phosphate and silicate, which can cause algae growth. Its bead shape allows for efficient water flow, enhancing its performance.
Is PhosGuard effective in both marine and freshwater systems?
Yes, it is effective in both, but performs better in marine water where phosphate and silicate levels are more commonly problematic.

I’ve used PhosGuard in my marine tank for three months now. The algae growth has dropped significantly. The water looks clearer and the fish seem more active. Easy to mix and add to the water weekly.

Works well in my saltwater aquarium. I noticed less green algae after using it regularly. The beads dissolve slowly, so it’s effective over time. I’d recommend it for anyone dealing with phosphate issues.

Great product for controlling silicate and phosphate. I added it to my freshwater tank as well, though I’m not sure it would work as well there. Still, it’s reliable and easy to use.
