Seachem SeaGel

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 150–225 L (40–60 US gallons). Use in a filter bag such as Seachem’s The Bag™ or Zip Bag™. SeaGel™ will function 3–4 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.
