Best thing to knock my phosphates out

[FatWrasse]

I have a tlf phosban 150 and have a freshly transfered biocube with cured rubble rock live rock and sand... everything is in check but phosphates... they are .05

 

[melev]

That's not bad. .5 ppm would be bad, but .05 is fine.

 

[FatWrasse]

Sorry I meant .5

 

[FatWrasse]

.5 phos 0 nitrates 450 calcium Dkh 9 temp 76 salinity 1.025

Just bought some phos guard

 

[melev]

I've not used that one. I do use Phosphate Rx that takes them down to 0 overnight.

 

[FatWrasse]

This one is suppose to take it down pretty quick

 

[crawfish aka Bill]

how did the phos guard work?

how much did you dose ?

 

[FatWrasse]

I bought the bagged one similar to the purigen bag pre measured for 30g it worked great for rapid reduction... although they say for best results use in a reactor with maximum flow.... seachem is coming out with phosbond which looks awesome it is aluminum oxide covered with ferric oxide...

 

[FatWrasse]

Going to buy some more today to put in for rapid reduction and going to put gfo in a reactor tomorrow

Lanthanum chloride works over night. Will drop you to 0 in no time. Long term look at bio pellets.


Sent from pay phone in the airport.

+1 I'm all about Phosphate Rx.

I've tried PhosGuard and i don't really care for it anymore. It worked.... a little.

I then ran BRS GFO and saw better results. I mean big time.

Phosphate Rx is another great one

 

[FatWrasse]

Thanks guys run 60g worth of phosban through my 150 reactor with a mj400 throttled back to give the gfo and gentle roll

 

[FatWrasse]

I will definitely look into phosphate rx and bio pellets
