What does a PhosBan Reactor 150 do?
The PhosBan Reactor 150 is designed with the upflow principle to achieve the most efficient use of PhosBan or other chemical filter media. By pushing water from the bottom upward through a dispersion plate, it forces an even distribution of water through the media, and prevents channeling.
Is Gfo a PhosBan?
The Phosban reactor works with a variety of filter medias such as activated carbon, GFO, and biopellets.
What pump to use with PhosBan reactor 150?
The Phosban 150 is compatible with any pump that uses 1/2″ tubing and a flow rate between 100 and 250gph.
Is Phosguard better than Gfo?
They’re similar, but Phosguard is aluminum oxide and depletes rather quickly compared to gfo (Depending on how much phosphate is being removed, of course) and can release phosphate back into the water when exhausted (Unlike gfo.)
Can you use too much Rowaphos?
The use of excess amounts of ROWAphos may strip the phosphate down to zero and therefore disrupt metabolic processes.
Is Rowaphos any good?
In freshwater aquariums, RowaPhos is twice as effective for removal of phosphate and we are generally using the media for controlling nuisance algae. We recommend that you keep the level below 0.1 ppm (PO4) or 0.03 ppm (P).
Is Phosguard the same as Gfo?
How do you use PhosGuard in a reactor?
You can use PhosGuard two ways: Passively in a media bag in the sump or back chambers or in a reactor. When using any phosphate control media, using less is better than using more. Removing phosphates rapidly can shock the system and cause sensitive corals like SPS to lose flesh.
How do you use PhosGuard?
DIRECTIONS: Use 85 mL (⅓ cup) for every 200 L (50 US gallons) saltwater or 400 L (100 US gallons) freshwater. For best results, PhosGuard should be rinsed before use and placed so as to maximize the flow of water through it but not so that it tumbles against itself in flow.
Will PhosGuard remove diatoms?
It helped me eradicate brown diatoms from my planted tank, I put some on my canister filter on a media bag. For better results pre-filter new water before is put into the tank. I cut a large plastic bottle on the bottom and I put the phosguard in a media bag inside, pour water thru it into a bucket and is good to go.
