need to wash before use-rowaphos ?


Recommended Posts

Deltec says if you use in FR you should wash it, or rather run it thru with fresh water until the water coming out of the FR turns clear.

If used in filter bag then no need to wash.

True...if you use it in a FR without washing you will see the brown sediments in your tank very soon.

Always something more important than fish.

:o I have always 'rinse' the Rowaphos media in my FR until the water inside becomes clear. Otherwise, my tank becomes 'reservoir' or long-kang water... :D:D:D

My tank did become cloudy after adding rowa into FR for the first time

because my pump 600L per hr suddenly pump alot of water and tank become

abit cloudy

got a shock but after less than 3hrs back to normal liao

it depends on individual . but the rowa intruction say try o flush out the brown residue first fo the first time then use it.

B) One tip is to top up water in your FR first before powering up the pump...& dont forget that the brown or black fine residue will settle down on your corals, live rocks & bottom...& it doesn't dissolve ! :evil:
