Ok, I think I have read enough but let me know if I miss any.

I am about to add Phosban reactor with media and have searched enough on internet for following medias
PURA PhosLock, Rowaphos, Phosban

I have seen a post somewhere for between Phosban and Rowaphos seems like Rowaphos works better but much more expensive...

But not much I could find about PURA PhosLock...?

Does anyone using them? also does anyone have infos between PURA PhosLock, Rowaphos, Phosban?

I heard I should start slow as it could cause RTN issue if I do it full from begining.

PURA is a new product, so not much about it yet.
Get Rowa.

Thanks for input Ti and worlds under.

According to some reading PURA also come from Germany just like Rowaphos and want to hear from users who might have used both : )

Thanks chadfarmer

I guess as there is still few phoslock users I feel much better... I just ordered phoslock than rowaphos due to cost...

You made a good choice,
You saved your money by not purchasing the ROWA ,which is the same product as PURA PHOSLOCK Beta Hydrated GFO, and made in Germany. I have been using it for some time now and used ROWA before absolutly no difference,
