Phos Buster- does it work?

[derekman]

Anybody try the Phos Buster Pro that they sell on drfostersmith? I've used the rowa phos and I think it doesn't work... if it does, my test kit can't tell (salifert) and it's expensive! I also used phos-sorb with limited success. If I change the media often I can bring the PO4 down but way slowly. I have it now at just over .1 ppm and I want to put the PO4 to bed, at absolute 0- absolutely! The product claims to be able to bring PO4 down 1.5 ppm within 72 hours and can be used prophalactically. It just sounds too good to be true- like maybe it just changes the PO4 to another molecule, that may build up or something.... What do you think?

yeah phos buster pro works great. but just use it to get things in controll, and not to maintain your phosphate low.
it well get it down fast.
