Phosphate feeds algae blooms in Aquariums. Phos-zorb will reduce a
5.00 ppm reading of phosphate to 0 ppm in 2 days and the Algae
disappears. It will last for about 2 monthes or keep the Phosphate
level at 0 ppm. You need a phosphate test kit to know the level of
phosphate in your water.

While it will keep your PO4 at 0, this stuff will not help with algae
problems. You will most likely just get a different type of algae than you
had at 5.0 ppm PO4. The way to get rid of algae is to use enough CO2 and as
much of the other nutrients as your plants need, including PO4. A level of
0.5-1.0 ppm is generally recommended. I keep mine at even higher than that.
