What Phosphate media do you use

[pmoneyt]

I been using Rowaphos but would like to know what other reefers are using and the results they are getting

 

[KathyC]

I use Phosban. Currently my reading is at .04 (tested with a Hanna Meter). Let's just say originally it was a rather impressive high number...lol

I was told to change it weekly, empty my skimmer collection cup daily and keep up with my weekly water changes (20%) if my numbers were high.

phosban

 

[boardryder]

I bought some from bulkreefsupply. I will use in another couple months when my rowa runs out. I sure hope it is as good as rowa.

 

[marki24]

never heard of rowa but phosban is good.

Phosban

 

[pmoneyt]

maybe is should have dont a poll. how often do you guys change the media

 

[nanchil]

Phosban once in 4 weeks.

 

[Chongpark27]

Change it every two weeks.

 

[marki24]

once a month

 

[masterswimmer]

4-6 weeks or whenever PO4 increases

 

[boardryder]

About 150-200mL once a month for a 46 gallon or when things are looking in need of a change.

I use Warner Marine before and its great. Now I am doing Prodibio and I dont run any GFO and as of 2 days ago my Po4 is .01 with Hannah meter..

Also note that Sudden change of Po4 will make a sudden impact in your tank. make sure you do it slowly then later on add more ..

You guys must be ballerz buying rowa and phosban. That would cost like $20-30 a month for me. bulkreefsupply pelletized GFO costs $70 for 4.5 pounds.

Anyway I change mine when I notice the glass getting hazy on a more frequent basis which is about every 2 weeks.

 

[Euroreefer]

I use the bulk reef supply GFO pellets, and their ROx Carbon, works great.

 

[pmoneyt]

well that was one of the other reason for me asking the question about it to get feed back

 

[masterswimmer]

Using the Phosban costs me under $10/month.
