Phosphate Reactor

[mavis1032]

Does anybody have any input on the phosban reactors. My phosphates have been continually high and using bags of phosban by itself is not helping. All of the rest of my peramiters are great just an ongoing problem with phosphates.

I ran PHOS-BAN for about 5-6 weeks in a Little Fishes Reactor with little drop. Last 3-4 weeks been running PhosGuard. Levels about .1 or under. :joy: I also shortened daylight lighting to 6-7 hours, to combat bad algaes. Water changes every 2-3 weeks. (about 20 %) Cleaned out sand-bed with Vacuum-siphon thing. Really watched feeding so as not to overfeed. Originally thought FLA live rock had something to do with high levels, now that doesn't seem to be the case. I recommend the Reactor, it worked for me , but if you can get good water flow through the media ,go for it.
