Polyfilter does selectively remove certain trace elements. Basically in its raw form it will absorb all trace element but the manufacturer dipped those pads meant for marine use in a trace element solution so that it becomes saturated and won't pick up those trace elements. The problem is that not all trace elements are covered. Generally, I won't be too worried.

Also, you need to submit a more creative topic title or this thread will be deleted.

hi Guys,

abt the polyfilter thing... does it effect only the trace elements ? what abt other addatives ? when you dose kalk-calcium/iodide/magnesium/KH... or if you have a Calcium Reactor.. does the polyfilter absorbs it then ?

what is your best practise ?
