SeaGel is a blend of MatrixCarbon and PhosGuard and is is optimized specifically for aquaria where organic color body and acid removal is required without the introduction of phosphate. MatrixCarbon is an ultracapacity carbon for the removal of organic and color impurities. PhosGuard is a powerful remover of phosphate, silicate, toxic metals, and acids. Both components are bead shaped for optimum water flow characteristics and penetration. The components enhance each other and are ideal for reef and marine use. SeaGel may also be used in freshwater that is not phosphate buffered.
Although MatrixCarbon has the lowest detectable leachable phosphate content of all major carbon brands tested, some phosphate is still released. Adding PhosGuard to the mix compensates for this. Both components are bead shaped for optimum water flow characteristics and penetration. The components enhance each other and are ideal for reef and marine use.
Directions:
Use 250 mL for each 150–225 L (40–60 US gallons). For best results, SeaGel should be placed so as to maximize the flow of water through it. Use in a filter bag such as Seachem’s Zip Bag. Rinse in freshwater before use. Use caution, since product will fizz and heat on initial wetting. SeaGel will function 3–4 months.
