Product Information

Full details

Seachem PhosBond is an advanced filtration media designed for serious aquarium hobbyists who need a reliable solution for phosphate and silicate control. By combining aluminium oxide and granular ferric oxide, this product delivers a synergistic effect that rapidly clears water contaminants in both saltwater and freshwater tanks. While it offers excellent binding capacity and durability, users must note that it requires a dedicated filter bag and careful placement in high-flow areas to reach maximum efficiency.

FAQs

Can I use PhosBond in a reef tank?

Yes, it is perfectly safe and effective for use in saltwater, including reef aquariums.

How do I know when to replace the media?

Monitor your phosphate and silicate levels using aquarium test kits. When levels begin to rise again despite the presence of the media, it is time to replace it.

Does it release chemicals back into the tank?

No, PhosBond is not an ion-exchange resin and will not release bound contaminants back into the water.

Do I need to wash the media with tank water?

Rinsing with tap or purified water is sufficient to remove dust before initial use.

Can I leave the media in the filter indefinitely?

No, once the binding sites are full, the media becomes ineffective and should be replaced.

Troubleshooting

Water appears cloudy after adding the media

This is usually caused by fine dust. Ensure you rinse the media thoroughly under running water before placing it in the filter bag.

Phosphate levels are not decreasing

Verify that the bag is placed in a high-flow area. If the bag is in a 'dead zone' with low water movement, the media cannot interact with the water effectively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using Seachem PhosBond, follow these steps for the best results:

  1. Rinse: Always rinse the media thoroughly with fresh water before placing it in your filter to remove any dust generated during shipping.
  2. Containment: Use a high-quality, fine-mesh filter bag to prevent the granules from escaping into your tank.
  3. Placement: Install the bag in a high-flow area of your canister filter, box filter, or media reactor.
  4. Dosing: Use 60ml of PhosBond for every 200L of saltwater or 400L of freshwater.
  5. Maintenance: You can monitor the effectiveness by testing phosphate levels periodically. Once the product is exhausted, it can be removed; it does not require special disposal beyond standard waste protocols.
