Find a productProduct description
Phospha-Guard Bio-Cubes is intended for reef aquarium keepers who want to lower phosphate levels between water changes. The product is used alongside Nitra-Guard Bio-Cubes and is placed in the sump, external filter or cascade, where it works with the existing filtration.
Why it matters
- No iron compounds: the formula contains no iron, and the manufacturer describes it as non-toxic.
- Biomass as food: the biomass produced by heterotrophic bacteria is a source of food for corals and filter-feeding organisms in the tank.
- Fewer water changes: the product is designed to reduce harmful phosphorus compounds and can postpone the need for water changes.
- No regular dosing: it requires no scheduled replacement or dosing routine.
