PHOSBOND 100ml

PhosBond Seachem 100 ml – Hybrid Phosphate and Silicate Absorber

PhosBond combines an aluminum oxide support coated with granular ferric oxide to merge the benefits of both phosphate absorption technologies.

This hybrid design allows for rapid absorption, high capacity, and excellent mechanical stability without media disintegration.

Operating Principle

Aluminum oxide ensures quick phosphate capture while ferric oxide increases total binding capacity.

This synergy results in a high-performance, economical, and effective media for both reef and freshwater aquariums.

Main Features

Comparative Capacity

PhosBond offers a binding capacity of approximately 1.19 mg of PO4 per gram of media.

It is positioned between PhosGuard and PhosNet, offering an excellent compromise between speed of action, capacity, and cost.

Usage Instructions

Rinse PhosBond before use.

Place the media in a high flow area, without tumbling movement, ideally in a filter bag.

Recommended dosage:

Allow to stand for 4 days then test for phosphate or silicate.

If the value has not dropped around 0.02 mg/L, replace the media.

Continuous use in small amounts is preferable to occasional high-dose use.

Usage and Safety

PhosBond is not an ion exchange resin and does not release any compounds into the water.

It can be removed, dried, and reused until exhausted.

Usage in a media reactor is not recommended due to the risk of dust production.

Reef Compatibility

Under normal reef conditions, no detectable soluble aluminum is released.

Coral stress may occur only if there is a too rapid drop in phosphate due to overdosing.
