What phosphate reactor do you use and how well does it perform to your needs? I cant get mine below .003

TLF reactor with bulkreefsupply.com GFO. Zero with API kit.

Whats wrong with .003?

[ReefWreak]

What test kit are you using for that measurement?

 

[coralfragger101]

Good question. Even my Hanna photometer only measures to the hundreths.

i've got a tlf...can't remember the last time it was hooked up or had any material in it. i should be running carbon and phosban more often...but everythings doing good.

The salifert test.

I am going to start using an old deltec fluidize reactor that I've got collecting dust in the garage for over a year now, I will be using the phosfar media.

i thought that salifert had some problems with some of there tests a while back? did i hear wrong?

 

[racermike27]

I use the TLF brand and Dr. Gs phosphate media or rowaphos.

Salifert had problems with the Alkalinity test kit, but as far as I know that was the only kit that had widespread problems (though my kits have not had problems), but the problems were so widespread that it made their customer support disappear, which in turn made them sound a lot worse, and they've actually been slowly slipping off shelves where I've seen them.

I've had good luck with their phosphate kit (as well as a phosphate kit can do it, photometer is much better, but much more expensive).
