## Description

API Phos-Zorb Pouch, Size 6 : desertcart.ae: Pet Supplies

Review: Overall good performance - API BIO-CHEM ZORB - They are much better that activated carbon. They keep odours away . They can keep cloudiness also away. But clearing up of dust particles is not there job. They have longer life - 2 months ( atleast double than activated carbons ) . If your canister filter is big , you might need two to cover the entire area, but in this case may be you can use it for 3 months (depends about overall aquarium situation and volume ) API NITRO - ZORB - Very handy when you have ammonium , nitrate, nitrite Spike. I had a massive spike of all three of them- Ammonia above 3 PPM, Nitrate to 160PP ( thats max it shows in test, not sure if it went above that ) . I have two canister filters. Kept one in each of them . Surprsingly Ammonium came to Zero in 24 hrs. Why am surprised is because Seachem Prime i was using for almost a week without much progress. With Nitro-zorb, Nitrate was not going down even after 48 hrs, so i wrote to API. They said "many recharges needed to control Nitrate spike " . So i waited - after one week it dropped to around 80-90 ppm, after second recharge it reached around 30-40 PPm and after third recharge it became zero. It works better than seachem prime for these kind of situations is my take.
Review: The changes in nitrate and ammonia levels are very modest and requires many regenerations before any detectable change. This media may absorb nitrates in single digit PPM levels before it needs to be regenerated.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can i mix phos-zorb and nitra-zorb together in the same media bag?**
A: We would recommend to keeping the resin separate in case one resin becomes exhausted before the other.

**Q: Will this kill BBA?**
A: directly? no.
BlackBush Algea is actually hundreds of different possible species, some grow with excess b12, some grow with other imbalances.
what this WILL do, short term, is help reduce excess phosphates that throw off your tanks balance. You still need to find the root cause that your phosphates went up. excess food, phosphates are put into some water pH stabilizing products. cheaper food can be high in phosphates. plant food, tap water. something is a source.

this will help you get the levels down (in addition to water changes) long enough to fix whatever the problem is. BBA can then be removed manually by scrubbing decorations, a bleach-water dip for plants, etc.. i never do that because I don't want to kill my beneficial bacteria colonies, and I'm afraid of not rinsing enough and wiping the tank. but there are guides out there if you're brave enough.

**Q: I have a 20 gallon tank, can I use this ?**
A: You may use it, however this pouch is made for a 55gallon aquarium, you may not be able to get it to fit into the filter.

**Q: I have a 10 gallon tank, water is not cloudy, but brown algae is growing. Weekly water changes already. Will this help?**
A: This filtration media is for a 35-60 gallon tank filter. It would not fit in a small tank filtration system. I would test your water, move the tank away from direct sunlight. I like the bio orb media in with 2 charcoal filters
