phosphate removal canister or reactor

[scunfcu]

Can a canister filter be use for phosphate removing media, instead of phosphate reactor?

 

[Deanos]

Yes. Just be sure to control flow through the media. Some filter media can crumble if water flow causes them to tumble.

reactor, canister is more hassle cleaning and mantainance. reactor is smaller/compact/cheaper and uses less electric running 24/7

 

[reefman]

see thru may be useful to know how much to control the flow.

You can make one out of a gatorade bottle if you want.
