Phosphate Reactors
Thinking of getting a phosphate reactor for my tanks. I need some info if it's worth it or not. I've had good results on just using PhosBan in a bag inside my AC Mech filter. Any info would be great.
TIA John

I have two of the two lil fishies phosphate reactor. One is used with Phosphoban, and the other one is used for carbon. My phosphate level has been zero since I started using one. I think it was .05 or 1 prior to using it.

I don't run a phosphate reactor but my rocks are free of algae, and my tangs are a little bit on the skinny side and I clean my glass every other day or two. Would I see any benefits in adding one?

Dannie - I use Phosphoban. I haven't used any other media.
Elite - I opted not to run both the phosphate media and the carbon in the same reactor because I change out my carbon a lot more frequently than I change out the phosphate media. For $32 bucks, it was worth having a second one. Mine is currently plumb in series. Minh |

Make sure your phosphate media is Iron(Fe) base and not Aluminium(Al) check out this article http://www.advancedaquarist.com/issu...004/review.htm
