tHEcONCH Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Discretion - i.e. avoid putting it into your tank in the first place. Otherwise I like SeaChem's Phosguard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slappers Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Rowaphos bit pricey but i like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidb Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 I use phosguard or Rowaphos. Rowaphos is a bit more pricey but it is Iron based rather than aluminium based and apparently more effective. either way i don't think it matters, you pay more for rowaphos as it will absorb more phosphate and so it will last longer, works out about the same in the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fmxmatt Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Discretion - i.e. avoid putting it into your tank in the first place. Otherwise I like SeaChem's Phosguard. Hmmm i've been thinking about that, and yes, you can avoid putting it in your tank by skimping on feedings etc, or you can run some and be a little more relaxed with feeding. Makes feeding a bit more fun too i.e Piece of this, bit of that, sprinkle of this, drop of that SeaChem SeaGel for me. Mixture of Matrix Carbon and Phosguard.

jolliolli Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 i use generic stuff :lol: the GFO rather than the aluminum based stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapphire Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 I use seachem phosguard - have also had purigen in there. Just make sure that whatever you use you keep an eye on your test results and replace before they become ineffective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tHEcONCH Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Isn't Purigen the one that you can reactivate by soaking in bleach? Yep - but I've twice tried it and on both occassions had an adverse reaction from my Sun Corals - it removes something else that they need.

dororke Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 I've used Phosguard, Rowaphos and am currently using Aqua Medic's Antiphos. I've been happy with the results of all of these products, though not neccessarilly with the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeBlog Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 i use generic stuff :lol: the GFO rather than the aluminum based stuff Ditto! Works excellent, bought in bulk, and a fraction of the price of "that expensive stuff" I also use Purigen with excellent results, but I don't have sun corals either.
