Phosphate removal question????

[sarmo]

i thought i heard something about aluminum based phosphate removers being bad for you system because aluminum levels build up and become toxic ? am i just imagining this or has anybody else heard this?:confused:
i currently use a cut to fit pad made by HBH for phosphate removal and it did wonders to get rid of the hair algae i had 3 or 4 yrs ago but it is an aluminum based product and i was wondering if some of my minor difficulties could be related to that?????
