[UNICORN]

:iamwithst



IAVE LOOKED AT BOTH OF THESE BECAUSE I DONT WANT TO GO THREW A BIG ORDEAL INSTALLING IT

TWO LITTLE FISHES & THE ONE BY KENT

IAVE ALSO HEARD THAT IF YOU USE THIS DEVICE YOU WILL HAVE A DROP IN ALKILINITY IS THAT TRUE?? AND IF IT DOSE WHAT DO I DO ???

MY TANK IS ONLY 15 GALLONS AND I DONT KNOW WEATHER TO INVEST IN A REACTOR OR IF ADDING THE PHOS MEDIA DIRECTLY IN TO MY FILTER WILL DO WHAT SHOULD I DO HELP PLEASE???????:splitspin

I've never heard about an alkalinity drop from using a phosban reactor.

Is the tank an all in one, or a stnadard 15g tank?
What issues are you having that you feel you need a phosban reactor to deal with?

 

[ZANYMASTER]

Yeah,I don't feel as though you'll need it for such as a small tank.Water changes should suffice.

 

[NYPDFrogman]

IMO a phosaban reactor is over kill for your tank
I agree with nelson water changes should help reduce your phosphates
what do u have in the tank? are you doing water changes and top off with tap water or RO/DI water?

Poor goby probably got shocked from that media.Take that stuff out and do a water change.Use Phosban in a bag if you have to but in a smaller amount than the canister says.

till it flows clear.

(i would suggest you rinse it with tank water (from a water change) or RO water to not waste capacity of the media with tap water)

How much are you using for a 20 gal tank?
I think this is gonna do more harm than good . things happen fast in a small tank. JMHO
