Now my Java fern is turning yellow and leaves are dieing.** A: Java ferns are leaf feeders. They love phosphates. **Q: can it be use on hang on back filter? with high flow rate?** A: I don't see why not, it may reduce the flow some, but if you are having a problem it truly helps. We do a water change once a month and change it every other month. Our tank looks better and the fish have been healthier. Good Lock ! **Q: I have some brown algae on my sand bed and green algae on my glass in my 20 gallon lps reef tank. will this help? can it hurt my tank in any way?** A: Brown algae (diatoms) & green algae can definitely be affected by phosphates & silicas. It won't hurt your tank at all. **Q: is this more or less the same as using chem-blue?** A: No. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent product *by R***. on 9 September 2024* I use this in my reef aquarium in a media sock. Excellent results. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Work well *by A***S on 12 January 2026* Bought this as was having trouble with fluffy algae and biofilm was significantly more than normal.

You don't need much at all ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An effective means of phosphate removal. *by S***N on 3 March 2019* Been using this product for a year or two and found it to be effective. Just follow the instuctions on the container.....the correct dosing rate is smaller than you might think and certainly smaller than a lot of the videos on YouTube that show people using huge quantities of this stuff. The phosphate removal is rapid (just three days) after which the beads may be exhausted. The phosphate binds with the beads to offer a one way transference, meaning that if you left the beads in the sump or filter they wouldn't leach out phosphate back into the tank. I'd recommend buying some zipped mesh bags from the online seller of your choice to hold the beads in the sump. I have to say that I don't like using this stuff...but it's a necessary evil. Water changes, macro algae harvesting in the sump, mangrove plants growing in the tank, low livestock levels, not over feeding are all preferable to using chemical removal of phosphates, but sometimes we need a hand getting the water parameters back on track! I also find that corals shrink back significantly after I use this product and some become discoloured. I've noticed it time after time. It defintitely upsets certain inhabitants of my tank. As the product becomes exhausted they all resume their usual selves. I want to love Phosguard but some of my corals hate it. Feed less, stock less, more water changes....my mantra! But..this stuff works! ## Frequently Bought Together - Seachem PhosGuard, 100 mL bagged - 67101850 - Seachem Indoor Purigen Organic Filtration Resin - Fresh and Saltwater 100 ml - Boyd Enterprises ABE16743 Chemipure Elite for Aquarium, 11.74-Ounce --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/48995710-seachem-phosguard-phosphate-and-silicate-remover-100-ml](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/48995710-seachem-phosguard-phosphate-and-silicate-remover-100-ml) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
