Wich one? Pick one :D and say why!

For example and to ponder on-

Aluminum based ones add aluminum

Iron based ones add iron

Lanthanum chloride based ones add lanthanum as precipitate, which is skimmed out.

I use GFO,in a TLF reactor that i just got.I also have a fuge plumbed into my sump with chateau growing.


Why, Because it works for me.
 
i prefer natural exportation whenever possible, but chemical exportation is just so much more efficient, consistant and reliable. i use macro in my fuge and rowaphos in a bag in the sump. works great for me.
 
I like the natural way. Trying to get the nerve up to try tap water in my SPS/LPS tank like I do in my softie former seahorse tank. Never had a algae problem in my softie tank.
 
I use Rowa in a reactor. I would love to place a fuge within my system just haven'e found a way to do it.
