Seachem PhosBond

What is Seachem PhosBond?

Seachem PhosBond is a revolutionary product that combines the phosphate removing capabilities of both aluminum oxide and granular ferric oxide into a singular material, forming a synergistic effect.

It rapidly removes phosphates and silicates from saltwater and freshwater, combining the best of both types of phosphate removers. Its high porosity and surface area give it a large binding capacity, while its physical strength and integrity ensures that it will not break down from mechanical stress.

How do I use Seachem PhosBond?

For best results, PhosBond should be rinsed before use and placed so as to maximise the flow of water through it, but not so that it tumbles against itself in flow. It may be used in a canister filter, media chamber, box filter, or any high flow area of a trickle filter. Use of a filter bag is recommended.

Use 60ml (1/4 cup) for every 200L (50 US gallons) saltwater or 400L (100 US gallons) freshwater. Leave product in place for 4 days, then test phosphate or silicate concentrations. If the concentration of the component you are trying to decrease has not dropped to around 0.02 mg/L, then replace the PhosBond, otherwise leave in place until levels begin to climb again.

As long as concentrations remain under control, the product is not exhausted. Over treating is not recommended. PhosBond™ is not an exchange resin and does not release anything into the water. It does not leach phosphate or silicate back into the water and may be removed, dried, and returned to service until exhausted. Continuous use of small quantities is better than intermittent use of larger quantities.
