What brand of Phosphate remover?

[elephen]

I use Rowa, had the best results out of the 3 I tried.

Curt,

I think Andy also makes a Phos reactor. myreefcreations.com contact him and see. Seems I heard he does. And he may can make the size you need?

 

[Covey]

Back after my Rowa trial. It about 3x as expensive as phosban but it hasn't clumped at all. I went to buy frags from a friend and he had Rowa in a reactor it seems to fludize better than phosban.

Andy makes reactors any size you need. Someone in the MRC club thread was showing off a 4 liter reactor they had built for a big system.

good materials on the myreefcreations.. ... how thick is the acrylic.. cast ect... thanks ... easy open.. .. most inportant is the easy open.. otherwise pain to change the media..

thanks

Never owned a reactor but I owned one of there skimmers. Built like a tank, I don't know how thick but thick grade A cast. Sch 80 fittings. Andy is real good to deal with too.

I had Andy build me a second chamber for my ca reator. And a Kalk reactor. He does great work. And he uses top notch stuff! I was impressed.

to answer the orig question : Rowa .. started with it never had a reason to change.

 

[Serioussnaps]

for those that are concerned with rusty water...

if you have a reactor just put it on a slow flow and let it drain in a bucket then dump the bucket out...i get about 1.5-2 g's of red water and then the red water is gone....

 

[poknsnok]

just a slight segue... what testing method are you guys testing your phosphates with?

 

[Reefflections]

I'm pretty sure it's the Merc test kit.If you can find it.And willing to pay the price$$$.

 

[poknsnok]

i have a colorimeter... nearly $200.00.. just curious what the masses use..

 

[Covey]

I don't test. Phos. remover has always sounded like a good idea and the phosphate cheaper than most decent test kits.

I thought I always read that the test kits where prretty questionable.

who has the best price on the warner marine product... ????

 

[gcarroll]

I will soon be trying a new phosphate remover: Warner Marine PHOSaR 2. I report back on how well it works.

 

[jaefei]

my phospate was undetect with salifert test kits. I use 500ml biophos2 (zeovit) for 268 litre tank for 3 months. I used in reactor. but I see still many algae on my glass tank. I am afraid phospate still there but salifert cannot detect it.
anyone comment about this ?

I've been using it for a over a month now.

I hear you. Using my PHOSaR for over a month, salifert showing undetectable nitrates and phosphates, but I still have some gunky algae type growth all over my substrate and even some patches of cyano popping up now. I've got good flow, 0 TDS water, low bioload, feed lightly, and the above test results and still have this junk.

I have tried several including Rowa,I presently use Pura`s Phoslock when you open the bottle it looks identicle and performs the same not to mention half the price.

 

[Peter Eichler]

I'm using phos-lock because it's the same damn thing as other brands just much cheaper. Plus you get a pretty nice media bag with it. Just because something is more expensive doesn't mean it's better. This applies most to media and additives. Just ask someone that used to pay $20 for a gallon of Kalkwasser from Thiel...
