Description
Seachem SeaGel
Removes phosphate, silicate, organics, metals, acids, and more
50/50 blend of MatrixCarbon and PhosGuard
More convenient than two separate bags of media
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.
SeaGel is optimized specifically for aquaria where organic color body and acid removal is required without the introduction of phosphate.
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
For best results, SeaGel should be rinsed before use and placed in your filter so as to maximize the flow of water through it. Use caution, since product will fizz and heat on initial wetting. Use 250 mL for each 150225 L (4060 US gallons). Use in a filter bag such as Seachems The Bag or Zip Bag. SeaGel will function 34 months.
FAQ:
On the SeaGel label it says "removes toxic metals." Does this include copper?
A: Yes, SeaGel will remove copper.
Will SeaGel remove trace elements?
A: Carbon (like our MatrixCarbon which makes up 50% of SeaGel) will not have a major impact on trace minerals. However, it is likely to remove only an insignificant amount i.e. SeaGel will not remove trace elements to any significant degree.
