I followed directions on the box, first rinsing the product. They state it may get hot when first exposed to water. It took a few seconds of rinsing and then i did detect heat. not enough to burn.After rinising, i placed it in the media tray of my fluval c4 filter. I have a 29 gallon salt water tank that was having some high phosphates. I tested the water after adding the phosguard. I left it in for a week. During the week i checked the water and while the phosphates did not go down, they did not go up either. So not sure if the product helped or not.
I think the phosphates were coming from my tap water. I purchased a RODI unit from BRS. I am still in the process of switching out old tank water with the new salt water made with the RODI water. I think this will control my phosphate problem.
i will mention i really like seachem's purigen. that stuff does work. But i am not too thrilled with phosguard. Granted it is always best to solve a problem at the source, and not try to fix it with chemicals.
I give the product 3 stars. shipping was fast. shiping box was in good condition. Seachem packages items well, and the quality is good. Instructions are also good.
