Thanks that seems like a great website for all bulk products.
Which one do you use the smaller granules or the pellets.

[Billybeau1]

Go with the pellets. Better absorption IMO. :)

I buy the smaller granules in the 5 gallon bucket and use it in a DIY reactor, changing every 3 months.

Wouldn't there be more surface area with granules. They are smaller so water is getting to more of it?

I guess it depends on the application.

In a canister filter, I prefer pellets.

Maybe a reactor likes the finer granules, but I don't run a reactor.

I think jd does........ he might have some comments. :)

Is the bulk phosphate remover just as good as ROWA?

[Randy Holmes-Farley]

I do not think there have been any careful studies of different brands. I've tried to do them, but it is very time consuming to do it correctly.

[roxsburyrage]

So what would you use in a reactor fine or pellets.

[Randy Holmes-Farley]

I use granules in my application in a bag, but I have no specific reason to believe them superior to other forms.

Ok Thanks Randy

[Randy Holmes-Farley]

You're welcome.

Good luck. :)
