Phosguard by seachem ?? phospate stuff

[KabayanReef]

Quick story: My phospate is at 0.5 ppm sigh (made me want to destroy my life i know lol) didn't clean filter media for 2-3 weeks.

Anyways, using 250ml phosguard in a mesh/media bag

Where the hell am I supposed to place the bag?
The pvc that drains water back to the sump is 2inches above the filter media/water level. Let it sit directly below the pvc? Use a filter sock and place phosguard bag in it? Let it sit on second baffle or somewhere the sump?

Also : Replaced the filter floss/polyfilter and rinsed the carbon(bagged) , will it be okay to add the phosguard in one go?

I put the mesh bag in my overflow (external).

But what if my left-hand corner overflow is deep as the tank, place the bag in the bottom?

I have a external overflow so this method works fine for me. If your overflow drains straight downward to your sump, not sure if this method is for you.

Some people use a simple HOB filter and put the bag in there. You'll get some flow through it and hopefully you have room for it on your sump.

I put it in a reactor I mix it with matrix carbon
My phosphates were at 1.5 last night. I added 1 liter of phosguard and 1 liter of matrix to my 500 gallon system. 12 hours later my phosphate is 0.7

I find phosguard is great for sps where the rowa phos can cause the corals to STN
