Manufactured in Germany by LANXESS, it offers ultra-pure, dust-reduced media that rapidly and effectively lowers phosphate levels to below 0.05 ppm, promoting clearer water and healthier aquatic life. Compatible with various filtration systems, it delivers long-lasting performance, making it a top choice for reef tank enthusiasts and professional aquarists alike. ## Description In aquariums, the water’s phosphate level plays an important role. Excessive phosphate causes cloudy water and poor fish health in freshwater and saltwater aquariums and serious harm to corals in saltwater reef aquariums.GFO Bayoxide E33 removes phosphates from aquarium water. Its large specific surface achieves rapid and long-lasting phosphate bonding, making GFO the perfect solution for phosphate removal. Compared to conventional adsorption medias, the high iron content of GFO Bayoxide E33 demonstrates significantly increased absorption capacity combined with faster removal performance for highly efficacious and long lasting phosphate reduction that results in a healthier aquarium.Start with a standard dose of 1 gram/gallon and add or change media when phosphate levels start to rise or algae increases. For best results, do not allow phosphate levels to test above 0.05ppm.

Review: Top Quality - I’ve tried several brands of GFO over the years, and Kolar Labs’ Bayoxide E33 is easily one of the most consistent. It’s clean right out of the jar — very little dust after a quick rinse — and it doesn’t clump or break down like some cheaper versions. I’m running it in a reactor on my 150-gallon reef tank, and it keeps my phosphate levels stable around 0.03–0.05 ppm. I noticed clearer water within a few days and no negative effect on corals. What I like most is how long it lasts before needing replacement — easily 6–8 weeks depending on bioload. Pro tip: rinse lightly with RO water before use, and use a slow tumble in your reactor to avoid grinding it down. If you’re serious about keeping algae under control and your colors crisp, this GFO is worth every penny. Review: Good phosphate remover. - I tested my saltwater phosphate. It was 0.06.. a week before installing this product. Tested this week. Phosphate is 0.03. I like where it's going now. ## Features - HIGH QUALITY: High-quality, ultra-pure virgin Bayoxide E33 granular ferric oxide (GFO) with reduced fines; Removes phosphates from water - CLEANER AND HEALTHIER AQUARIUMS: Reduces phosphates to help keep aquariums clean and clear, and aquatic life healthy - SAFE FOR ALL AQUARIUMS: Works in saltwater and freshwater aquariums, reef tanks, ponds and more - USE INSTRUCTIONS: Works great in reactors, filters socks, canister filters, and filter cartridges.

And is it good to mix with activated carbon in a same bag?** A: Thank you for your question! The media works well inside a fine mesh bag, well rinsed, anywhere there is decent water flow (like where you would place a carbon bag). This media can be mixed with the activated carbon in the same bag however, the GFO stays active longer than the carbon so that would be the only drawback. Please let us know if you have any other questions, we are happy to help. **Q: It says it can be used in pools. Are there dosage recommendations on the package** A: It says 1 - 2 grams per gallon in a fine mesh bag. I use it in my 35 gallon saltwater tank but I'm not sure how much it would take in a pool.? The jar has 454 grams in it. **Q: Can this be used in a reactor?** A: Hello, thank you for your question. This product can be mixed in reactor with carbon or used by itself. Please let us know if you have any further questions! The Kolar Labs Team **Q: How do i use this?** A: It's a really small particle GFO so you'll need to use a "very fine" mesh bag. Use an 1/8 to 1/4 cup for 30-40 gals. Rinse it and place the bag pretty much anywhere in your sump's flow/return. It works wonders with phosphates! Replace it every 4 to 6 weeks. I've also mixed it with activated carbon, mix about 1 part GMO to 2-3 parts carbon. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Top Quality *by S***H on October 6, 2025* I’ve tried several brands of GFO over the years, and Kolar Labs’ Bayoxide E33 is easily one of the most consistent.
