The Metal Issue:
An excess of heavy metals in the water is toxic to aquatic life. These metals may come from the water source, from foods, from artificial seawater mixes, corroding metal equipment, magnets, pumps, etc. Sudden mysterious ailments in fishes, corals and other invertebrates may occur when heavy metals reach a toxic threshold.

The Solution: MetaSorb UHC
MetaSorbTM UHC is made with patented high capacity polymers developed for the US Environmental Protection Agency's Superfund Program. Insoluble in water and nontoxic, the polymers rapidly bind and permanently remove metals from fresh and saltwater, making it possible to restore the water quality. MetaSorb UHC is a fine powder that is packaged in a small cloth media bag that is easy to locate in any area where high volume water flow will facilitate the contact with the polymer. Simply place the bag in any canister filter, hang-on-the-back power filter, or in flow-through sections of any sump or filter chamber. After a few days MetaSorb UHC can be removed, dried and stored for later use or discarded. For pretreating new water or newly mixed artificial seawater MetaSorb UHC may be reused several times.

Capacity:
MetaSorb has Ultra High Capacity to adsorb metals and comes in two sizes:

1-250 Gallons which removes up to 80 ppm of metals from 250 gallons.

500-800 Gallons which removes up to 120 ppm of metals from 500 gallons.

There is no risk of overdose, and once the metals bind to the polymer inside the bag they cannot be released back into the water.
