Any comments on Seachem Phosguard?

[koniyakutz]

Hi guys,

Anyone of you here used Seachem Phosguard before? Could you give some comments?

Went tru' many threads @ RC and it seems that Phosguard is not recommended as its al based and may affect the corals. Iron based media like Aquaz and rowa is a much better choice.

Here is a detailed study abt Phosguard, http://www.advancedaquarist.com/issues/july2003/chem.htm

Some quotes from RC,

RHF has a couple write ups about phosphate removers. After reading this, I would NOT use aluminum based removers at all. I think he actually used Seachem's Phosguard as a bad example of what not to use.

As for Rowa and Phosban, these are more recommended as they won't leach back into your aquarium. There are also threads around too of people that have experienced SPS RTNing, including myself. I think I might have used too much though.

Use before, no effect.

Presently using Rowa Phos, good!
