Phosphate????????

rholguin · 08/10/2009, 01:20 AM

I have a 95g tank that is sps only. My question is what kind of phosphate media do you guys use? Thanks

I used to use that product from Kent...i think its called powerphos? I know its from kent though lol. Anyways, i would just fill up a filter bag with it and throw it in the sump on the intake side. Always worked for me!!!

i agree with gfo from bulk reef supply only be sure do not put in a direct hard flow area made that mistake first time aroud, even though i rinsed well the tank became very cloudy actually lost a couple of fish. since changed that and my phosphates have gone to nothing.
