Trusted by thousands of aquarists, PhosGuard outperforms competitors to maintain pristine aquatic environments. ## Description Phosguard rapidly removes phosphate and silicate from marine and freshwater aquaria. It is not recommended for phosphate buffered freshwater. Phosguard is highly porous for high capacity and bead-shaped for optimum water flow. It outperforms all competing products. Review: Worked great - Had a good amount of brown algae popping up. Tank is about 3 months old now so its to be expected. A corner also gets hit with direct sunlight, which is where it shows most. After about 2 weeks changing this as directed, it cut down on it drastically. Theres still a bit of it, but definitely nowhere near as noticeable as it was prior. I stopped using it and it began to comeback, so I began redosing. But I expect the same results. Definitely recommend buying the large jug seeing as these beads fill every 4 days. It took 2 weeks for a change in a 75 gallon, for reference. I would prefer a purigen like solution for this that's rechargeable. But it did what it's supposed to, and I'm happy enough with that. Seachem always dropping bangers. Review: Really works well - This will be an updated review as I just got the product last night. I have a 20 gallon tank and have been frustrated with how quickly algae seems to be growing on my 'fake' plants in the tank.. I have an algae eater but he can't get all the leaves due to their shape and size. Having phosphate test kit for the pool I decided to check the fish tank. The high mark is dark blue. I've never seen the test water such a dark blue color and I have problems with the pool in the summer due to trees overhead and the Florida climate. My fish tank water had even more phosphates than the pool ever had. So I bought this product after seeing a video on its use. I have an AquaClear 30 filter which uses the foam, purigen, biomedia stages. I took out the biomedia bag and put it beneath the intake and replaced it with the same sized bag filled with PhosGuard. It was roughly half the 250ml container I purchased here. I put it in last night around 6pm (after rinsing it well as directed) and left it. I tested the water today around 3pm and the test water was almost clear, indicating little to no phosphates in the water. It was still a little blue but nowhere near the dark blue prior to using the product. They say to wait 4 days to test the water. I'm thinking by tomorrow the test water will be clear, indicating no phosphates. I expected this result from the reviews I've read and the video I saw, but what surprised me the most was that the algae is disappearing! There are only patches of it left on the leaves and a big patch on my 3 inch round/flat bubbler. I should have taken a before picture of the algae but take my word for it. Just like the guy in the video, I had the result the following day of dying algae. It simply doesn't have anything to eat to stay alive.. and we keep the tank light on probably longer than recommended also. I'll report back in a few days on the final results but so far it's working beautifully. I was expecting to have to take all the plants out of the tank for the typical bleach soak. (i'm careful to soak them in prime or safe to neutralize any bleach before re-using). I never expected the algae to just die off. So far i'm impressed. Also I'm convinced now for this coming pool season about using PhosFree in our sand filter to control Phosphates in the pool. But that's another review. Updates to come. ## Features - For marine and freshwater - Rapidly hydrodynamics - Removes phosphate - age range description: all stages - material type: cotton ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (1,672) | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Seachem - **Item Form:** Granules - **Item Weight:** 8.8 ounces - **Liquid Volume:** 250 Milliliters - **Manufacturer:** Seachem Laboratories, Inc. ## Images ![Seachem PhosGuard 250ml - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71YvDvPmFxL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked great *by J***E on March 27, 2026* Had a good amount of brown algae popping up.
