Rowaphos

[stony_corals]

This is what is dangerous with gfo, you can reduce phosphates to the point that its limiting. If the algae turns white, that can not be good for your corals. Every living thing requires P. It sounds like you are going slow.. That's the way to go.

Kinetic,
what is that fish in your avatar?
Beautiful specimen, do you have it?

Sorry for steering the thread of course

Tailspot blenny, as stated above the photo. Very cool and inexpensive fish, but not worth much as a phosphate remover....

Hey guys, I also have some bubble algae. Will this be controlled as well? Surprisingly it hasn't taken over the tank...

Probably won't get rid of the bubble algae, it can live in extremely low nutrients. But blue legged hermit crabs eat it.

Thanks Big E i read the whole thing.

One interesting part near the end, where a guy recommended to a guy with a smallish tank, that he should start with a litre of Rowaphos and simply run the water through it really slow, and build up over time, not sure i would want to try that?
