For those you uses phosphate reactor in there SPS tank, what type of media do you use?

ROWA - where would I buy ROWA phosphate removal? Is this an on-line deal only? I haven't seen any LFS in my area that sells ROWA.

How about SEACHEM's phosphate remover - is it any good?

I think Seachems is made out of aluminium which could damage some SPS's. I have used both RowaPhos and Two little fishes PHosBan in my reactors. I like Rowa Better. I can get it at a LFS cheaper than on-line.
