Sounds like some good stuff going on here, think I may hang around a while.

I just got my sample from John today! It is a 125 g bottle. I give John MAJOR thanks...He is a man of his word!

Added 40 g today and will added another in 7 days...

The wholesaler Sea Dwelling Creatures is carrying PhosAr. Your LFS can get it for you from SDC.

I read all your blogs, looked up all the threads you posted and I still couldn't find how big your tank is... so how many gallons is it?

Is it glass or acrylic? that's a very nice tank BTW

What's the largest size they come in? Is there a larger size than the 125g one?

Peace,
John H.

 

[mburnickas]

good question..

this is the 125 g size

 

[Beenalongtime79]

Well, how well does it work?

 

[Billybeau1]

Ruf, dropped my PO4 from 1 ppm to <.03 ppm in two weeks. I changed it out yesterday morning and put in new and this morning my PO4 is 0 ppm or very close to it.

I'm running it in a canister filter sandwiched between two layers of carbon.

 

[Beenalongtime79]

It doesn't break up too easily does it or does it turn mushy with time?

 

[Billybeau1]

I only had it in for two weeks. It did not get mushy in that time. Like I said, I run it in a canister filter. Someone else is trying it in a filter sock in the sump. He hasnt reported back yet but the manufacture says the slower the flow the better.

 

[Beenalongtime79]

Thanks! Sounds like it's working well.

It comes in a 250 gram size as well.

 

[Beenalongtime79]

Where are they offering that size?

I have a 300 gallon system. The Phosban Reactor says it's only good up to 150 gallon. What should I use to run PhosAr?

 

[Volcano1]

I use more than 1 reactor in my system, I have about 425.

This looks interesting: http://myreefcreations.com/fmc.htm

I considered that too. Deltec and others do make larger reactors, but at 30 a pop, you can get a few phosbans and mix match what ever media you like. The top comes off much easier on the phosban than the mrc's. Wish they made a larger phosban.
