Guard 1000ml – algae control

NEO MEDIA Guard is a liquid treatment for freshwater aquarium keepers who want to prevent algae rather than remove it once it appears. It works by limiting the build-up of phosphorus in the water, so the nutrient stays available to plants and does not feed algae.

Why it matters

• Phosphorus control: according to the manufacturer, the product prevents surplus phosphorus from accumulating, regardless of the compound it is present in.
• Binding prevention: the manufacturer notes that phosphorus often binds with other elements and becomes unavailable to plants, which is described as a common trigger for algae growth.
• Leaf cleanliness: the manufacturer states that keeping plant leaves clean supports photosynthesis, which it links to faster plant growth.
• Long supply: the 1000 ml bottle is stated to last about 9 months at the recommended dosing schedule.

What it works with

The product is designed for freshwater aquariums and is dosed by volume, at 1 cap per 60 l of water. The dosing schedule starts at tank setup and then changes over the first month, so it fits both new tanks and established setups. If too much is added, the water may turn cloudy for a short time.
