Recommended Posts

do you guys rinse your PO4 removal media before dumping it in? I remember AT telling me something about rinsing it before I use it....but the thought of it is quite a turn off actually. =\

any comments? I remember Rowaphos instruction saying that its media should not be rinsed...but I'll be dumping my first and only bottle of Contraphos here.

any comments?

You HAVE to rinse it WHEN using it in a Fluidised Reactor.

Because you are churning up the media constantly, you are very guaranteed to have all the tiny powder-likes particles enter your main tank!

A pre-rinse is recommended by many reefers from the UK (who have been using FRs for a longer time than we do) to remove these very fine particles... unless you leave with seeing lots of black particles on your white sandbed! :lol:

I think you are referring to Biophos.

Contra K/Rowa is exactly the same... there is no need for any 'activation' process before you can use it.
