SRC Member gunzo Posted January 23, 2008 SRC Member Share Posted January 23, 2008 It's quite painful for me to keep changing the media .. and I don't recall me changing it that frequently last time .. So now I'm asking what's the average duration so I can gauge if it's just me or it's the media .. Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Angel Posted February 3, 2008 SRC Member Share Posted February 3, 2008 Dont think there is Pura PhosBan ... it should be "PhosBan" which is the Phosphate removal media from Two Little Fishies. When to change depends on test result from the Salifert Phosphate Test Kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member milky Posted February 3, 2008 SRC Member Share Posted February 3, 2008 Yes Sorb 4 is very effective and long lasting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Supporter ReDDeviLs Posted October 23, 2008 SRC Supporter Share Posted October 23, 2008 actually it depends on your tank's load.. use both sorb4 and rowa.. currently using sorb4, but shld be going back to rowa after i finish my sorb 4.

oceanus Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 i feel rowa is still the best .. ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member MbmC Posted November 2, 2008 SRC Member Share Posted November 2, 2008 I just tried Rowa after having used Sorb4 for 1 yr. I find Sorb4 easier to fluidize TBH. Rowa particles are so much finer, it's difficult to adjust the flow so that the main bulk of the media fluidizes while the finer particles don't get sucked into my water. And this is after running the media through freshwater for some time... But it works well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m12345y Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 think also depends on how much you put in. e.g. you can put 200ml rowa and change monthly or like me dump in whole 1000ml and now coming to 4th month.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
