PhosBan from Two Little Fishies is a favoured chemical filter media
because it will not leach substances back into your aquarium.
Largest adsorption capacity of any phosphate filtering media. Ferric
oxide hydroxide-based granules also adsorb organics and other pollutants.
Use just like activated carbon, filter bag included. Non-toxic and lasts
several months in typical aquariums. Great for saltwater and freshwater
aquariums.
For best results, use with a TLF Phosban Reactor 150 or 550.
Phosphate removing filter media permanently removes phosphate
Non-toxic filter media lasts several months in typical aquariums
Great for both saltwater and freshwater aquariums
Directions:
PhosBan can be rinsed briefly before use, but since it is friable, do not
stir the granules, which would pulverize them. Put PhosBan in a tightly packed
media bag or between two layers of fine filter floss in any kind of
flow-through filter or filter chamber so that the water is directed through it
diffusely. PhosBan is best used in an up-flow filter such as the PhosBan
Reactor, but the flow must be reduced sufficiently to prevent the granules from
tumbling, which would grind them into powder.
Recommended Usage:
50 g per 50 gal (200 l) saltwater, 50 g per 100 gal freshwater. PhosBan
is safe and can be used at more than 5 times the recommended usage quantity,
but at high dosages, it can cause a drop in alkalinity. Monitor alkalinity and
correct if necessary with buffer or other alkalinity supplements. The useful
life of PhosBan depends on the phosphate concentration in the aquarium. PhosBan
can be effective for up to several months before it needs to be changed.
Replace PhosBan when phosphate levels begin to rise.
