Do phosphate removers take medication out?

[Fishguy1079]

Hello, does anyone know if phosphate removers like phosbond or those pads you put in your overflow also remove medications like paraguard or any other liquid you add directly to the tank?
Thanks!

I don’t think so. They are supposed to only bind phos, and potentially leech a little rust or Aluminum based on the media you use. Unsure on pads

Are you using paraguard in the display tank?

Ok thanks!

Many things that bind phosphates can bind many other things. Just phosphates alone can bind with many other things. Without specifics, there is no way to know. If you have some specifics, the chemistry forum might be able to help.
