Two Little Fishies ATLPB4 Phosban 454gm

I used Rowaphos for years, and I always found the life cycle of it to be very short so one day I re-read the instructions and realized I had been using it wrong. I always gave the Rowaphos a good wash out with RO water, to remove all the red rust from the media, but the Instructions say that it should not be rinsed and that the Red would only stain the water for a day or so. Well against my best Judgement I went ahead and used it without rinsing, what a disaster; the Tank turned red for almost 10 days, then it left red dust on everything, I was cleaing this crap out for a month (and no my media was not grinding).

So about 3 months ago I switched to Phosban :-) Yes happy happy joy joy, it's not a wet slop in the can but a dry Grain, and you rinse it and very little comes off, put it in the reactor and almost nothing comes off and the Bonus is the Phosphates drop lower than when I used Rowa. This thing is great, it last longer than Rowa and it's so much easier to deal with. I don't know why I ever strayed from the "two little fishes company", if theirs one thing I have learned in 20 years of reef tanks is that Julian Sprung always makes good stuff because his name and reputation are like gold in the Salt water Aquarium world and I doubt he would ever endorse a product that was sub standard.

I pour this in strainer bags and place in my Wet/Dry filter. I place them on top of the Bio-balls, directly under the layer of filter floss. When I change the filter floss, I carefully rinse and gently rub the granules together in the bags under running just until the water runs a rusty-clear color. That "resurfaces" the Phosban granules each time. This together with a UV light has worked very well.

I also added it bagged into a Rena filter compartment and also hang a bag on the final output flow side of smaller "over-the-back" filters on smaller tanks with success.
