Time to go back to RowaPhos in my reactor.
Although Phosphate is undetectable, Nitrates are up to 10+ (from 2 or less when I started. Algae is starting to appear on rocks and cyano on the sand bed. At least I think it is cyano - more brown than red but similar in general appearance.
Although the Phosphates ar undetectable, I think they are just being taking up by the new appearance of algae - which I haven't had for 4 years or more.
I have been running the pellets since May in a 3 fishes 150 reactor driven by a maxijet 1200 pump with what I believe to be good tumbling and the discharge going into the skimmer.
Was this just a passing fad that really doesn't work all that well?
