Phorax Phosphate Remover M

Phorax is designed to target phosphate buildup, which often comes from fish food and waste. Excess phosphate fuels algae growth and chokes out plant health. This media binds phosphate chemically, forming water-insoluble aluminium phosphate, which is then trapped in the filter. Each gram of Phorax binds up to 12 mg of phosphate, making it one of the most efficient options for algae control and water clarity. It slots straight into the Juwel filter basket—no cutting or fiddling—and works best when paired with mechanical pre-filter pads to prevent clogging. ✅ Pros Highly effective phosphate removal—up to 12 mg/g Improves plant growth—less algae competition Plug-and-play fit—no trimming or adapters needed Works in fresh and saltwater Made in Germany—solid quality control Compatible with Juwel Bioflow systems—Compact/M sizes ⚠️ Cons Doesn’t remove nitrates or ammonia—phosphate only Needs regular replacement—every 6–8 weeks for best results Can clog if used without pre-filter pad Not reusable—single-use media Pricey compared to generic phosphate removers—but more efficient 🧍‍♂️ Personal Verdict Used this in a Juwel Rio 125—saw a visible drop in algae within 10 days, and plant growth picked up. It’s a proper upgrade if you’re battling green water or want to keep things sharp without chemical additives. For under £8, it’s a smart bit of kit that does exactly what it claims.

this item allows me to interchange when cleaning aquarium

long delivery ,but no probs

Really changed the appearance of algae growth in my tank. Not cheap but worth it. But be sure to remove it after 2 weeks as instructed!

Original juwel . Original packaging. Fast delivery. I brought this to control my algae. Can't comment if worked as I've only just recieved item.

I run this product in both my Juwel tanks. Trigon 190 and Rio 125 and it does a great job of keeping the Phosphates down. Because it comes in it's own plastic filter box it is very easy to change in the tank filter system. The only down side is it is a bit expensive but I got a good deal with the seller for buying bulk. Would recommend this product.

We set up a brand new replacement tank which hasn’t been easy as we have had a lot of problems with algae. We put this filter in and the algae is no longer growing at the rate it was and the tank is nearly algae free.

Great product

Ich benutze das JUWEL Aquarium Phorax M (Compact) nun seit einigen Wochen in meinem Aquarium und bin wirklich begeistert. Bereits nach kurzer Zeit konnte ich einen deutlichen Rückgang der Phosphatwerte feststellen – das Wasser ist klarer, die Algenbildung hat spürbar nachgelassen und das biologische Gleichgewicht im Becken wirkt stabiler. Die Handhabung ist super einfach: Einsatz ins Filtermodul, und der Rest läuft von selbst. Besonders positiv finde ich, dass Phorax langfristig wirkt und keine schädlichen Rückstände hinterlässt. Auch für empfindliche Fische und Pflanzen ist es absolut unbedenklich. Ein weiterer Pluspunkt ist die hervorragende Qualität und Passgenauigkeit – wie man es von JUWEL gewohnt ist. Für alle, die Probleme mit erhöhten Phosphatwerten oder Algen haben, ist dieser Phosphatentferner wirklich zu empfehlen! Fazit: Effektiv, zuverlässig und einfach in der Anwendung – ein echtes Muss für jedes gepflegte Aquarium!

Fonctionne parfaitement, bonne qualité

Parfait.
