PHOSGUARD™ COMPATIBILITY CHARTS. I did this upon the recommendation of a LFS employee who actually has a degree in marine biology. Assuming the same price (which is what it goes for) which would be better at removing phosphates? The HC GFO will strip phos quick. Has anyone tried this and how did it work? there really is no need to use a reactor. I was thinking of switching to GFO because I read that phosguard can't lower phosphates as low as an iron oxide but if you need a reactor to use it im just going to stick with phosguard I guess. I only have a 20 long so I buy the single bag of phosgaurd that treats up to 30 gallons and I think it's like 6.99 at my lfs, I take it out of the bag and put it right into my phosban reactor and turn that sucker up on max flow because it doesn't float around like GFO and it stays put at the bottom. I teat p04 about every week. It reduces phosphate slower than GFO, and exhausts faster than GFO. You can also call your LFSs and see if they buy in bulk and sell small amounts. I'd go with GFO for ease of use and cost - even if it leeches phosphates back into the water, a GFO change out will bind it back up.

Granular phosphate removers can become compacted, dramatically limiting their capacity to remove phosphate. It doesn't leech. You can post now and register later. Reason I ask is because I just read on Seachem's website what they "determined" based on their research into Al leaching from Phosguard. PhosNet™ has the highest capacity of the Seachem® phosphate absorbers at 1.41 mg/g of PO 4 bound, and is a pure GFO media.

I'd mix some Phosguard with the Matrix (that's what their Seagel product is comprised of). iv been using GFO and Carbon on my reef tank. The now-detectable phosphate in the new seawater shows that the phosphate can be released from the GFO media when the aquarium's phosphate concentration drops low enough. IME PhosGaurd is much more "aggressive" than GFO at removing phosphates to the point that in a system with high phosphates, it can lower the concentration so fast that corals will have a bad reaction up to and including RTN. Continue to test weekly for phosphate until you see it begin to rise again. I run it in the top of my filter tray so I can remove it easily. × I went to a few show and they seems to be pretty good...

Further, it appears that the release of aluminum could be the cause of the effects that some folks have seen in aquaria when using aluminum-based phosphate and silicate absorbing materials. Works great. IME PhosGaurd is much more "aggressive" than GFO at removing phosphates to the point that in a system with high phosphates, it can lower the concentration so fast that corals will have a bad reaction up to and including RTN.
