Overview Seachem PhosNet GFO is a granular ferric oxide (GFO) media crafted for freshwater and saltwater aquariums
With high porosity, expansive surface area, and strong binding capacity, it rapidly reduces phosphates and silicates to help maintain clearer water
Seachem has spent more than three decades translating science into practical hobbyist solutions, and PhosNet reflects that heritage of education, testing, and reliable performance
As a privately owned company led by aquarium enthusiasts, Seachem continues to support hobbyists with products grounded in -world use and solid science
Key benefits in your tank Removal: The porous granules target phosphates and silicates, helping lower nutrient levels in both display tanks and filtration media
Binding: PhosNet binds contaminants strongly, reducing the chance of re-release back into the water column
Dust reduction: The formulation minimizes dust, making handling and routine maintenance cleaner and easier
Filtration compatibility: Use in canister filters, media chambers, box filters, or high-flow areas; a filter bag is to contain the media
How to use PhosNet for results Preparation: Rinse PhosNet before use to minimize dust and particulates in your system
Placement: Position the media to maximize water flow through it without allowing it to tumble or clog flow paths
Dosing and duration: Use 50 g (1/2 cup) per 200 L (50 US gallons) of saltwater or 400 L (100 US gallons) of freshwater
Leave PhosNet in place for 4 days, then test phosphate or silicate levels
Re-treatment guidance: If concentrations remain above 0
02 mg/L, re-check and adjust dosing as needed; avoid excessive dosing to prevent over-treatment
Why choose PhosNet The 125 g package provides a practical, science-backed approach to nutrient control
This media works as part of a regular maintenance cycle, helping aquarists pursue clearer water and stable filtration without relying on harsh chemical additives
The product line reflects Seachem’s ongoing commitment to education and support for hobbyists who value proven performance
