PhosPure® Filter Media

Bind phosphate permanently without leaching for total phosphate removal. Commercial strength granulated ferric hydroxide quickly removes phosphate, arsenic and heavy metals from the water column for cleaner, healthier aquariums. Powerful, nontoxic formulation can be used in a variety of applications to adsorb nutrients that cause scum safely and effectively. Ideal for both freshwater and marine applications. 300-micron filter media bag included for convenient application.

PhosPure® Suggested Use:
Freshwater: 1 tablespoon per 50 gallons of water, monthly. Saltwater: 1 tablespoon per 25 gallons of water, monthly.

Please click on "More Information" for ingredients and directions for use.

Directions for Use:
Place PhosPure in a fine mesh media bag (included), rinse thoroughly and place inside any filter. PhosPure can also be used in a media reactor for greater efficiency. Adjust flow rate through contact chamber so the granules do not tumble too vigorously.

Applications:
For Aquariums: Use in canister filters, power filters, sumps, refugiums, corner filters, or next to uplift tube of undergravel filters. For Ponds: Use in filter or pond skimmer. NOTE: In filters that receive infrequent servicing or aquariums with aggressive scum, three times the suggested amount of PhosPure can be safely used at once.

Suggested Use:
For freshwater aquariums and ponds, use 1 tablespoon (Tbsp.) of PhosPure per 50-gallons of water, monthly. For saltwater aquariums or heavily stocked freshwater aquariums or ponds, use 1 Tbsp. per 25-gallons of water, monthly. For reef or freshwater-planted aquariums, use 1 Tbsp. per 20-gallons of water. Monitor phosphate levels with a test kit and maintain levels under 0.05 ppm. Replace media as necessary as phosphate levels begin to rise.

Storage:
Store unused portion in original PhosPure container and close tightly. Do not freeze or store in extreme heat.

For aquarium and pond use only. Keep out of reach of children. Do not take internally. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. In case of eye contact, flush with water and seek medical attention.

I really love this stuff. It's so inexpensive for the amount of media that Drs. Foster and Smith provides. I use it in multiple fish tanks, and it eliminates all of my phosphate problems. For the most part, I use it in my power filters, and I have had no trouble with it crumbling. However, I tend to pack a media bag full of assorted chemical media so that it prevents the PhosPure from tumbling. Great stuff, I'll keep using this stuff as long as Drs. Foster and Smith keeps providing it.

Tested this product in one of my nano aquariums which had an algae problem even with healthy plants. To say the experiment was a success is an understatement! Algae is no longer an issue and the live plants continue to thrive. This is a good and much less expensive alternative to PhosBan!
