Phosphate Reactor

[Necsones]

have a question about my Phosban reactor 150, i first started off with Phosban media then i changed to Kent phosphate meadia becuase thats what my lfs had.. but im reading that Rowaphos is pretty much the best. I just dont know how much to buy, Rowaphos goes by ml as Phosban was 150g. so question is how much in ml do i buy for a Phosban 150.

The RowaPhos comes with instructions in the container ..I dont run that much on my 90 and my Phosphates are always in check and I am an overfeeder...I run a Next Reef reactor and put about 100 ML in it ...Hope this helps,,

Rowaphos lasts longer than the Phosban and does not break up easily.My 2 cents.

Cool thanks.
u guys have any opinions on Kent Power-Phos?

Junk.I believe it's only good for 2 or 3 days.Do the Rowaphos.

zany,
how do you know it's useless? it's not the same as the old phosphate sponge they market, from pictures online it looks alot like rowaphos, black grains and comes in moist. However i can't seem to find anything in detail about it

I run the kent power phos and it last me up to 3 months. I have quite the well fed fish population as well including 4 medium tangs. I dont know if anyone else has had this experiance but i opened up a new container a few weeks ago and i put my finger in the container. When it came in contact with the media i got the static shock of a life time. I have never had a more jolting static shock. Anyone else experiance this?
