is any of the phos brand keeps allows permanent dumping of the stuff in the tank? i.e. i dont need to throw away the phos. even if it is exhausted so can be used as a biological filter. Furthermore, is there any phos that is not exhaustable?

[Ah-lim]

Nope, there is no phos that is not exhaust able. Sadly.

i see...but can i just leave it there? or does it release back phostrate to the tank?

[Ah-lim]

Most claim that they will not, however, to be on the safe side, remove bah...

Phos dump into the tank is a waste. As I have mentioned, the most effective way is running by using FR with a 600~ 1000L/h pump.

try only seachem before. have been using it for sometime, phos maintain at 0ppm(with mangrove) so didn't try other brands.

but my review for this product is not bad. it doesn't remove phos right away but the effect will take up to 4 days.

so this is what they recommend also. becos too fast removal of phos will shock the livestock.

don't know abt the effectiveness of the other brands.

ya.

ya.

is it recommended to bridge the connection from a skimmer to FR/CR and out to the water? or better to use two pumps for two equipments?

i was thinking of saving a pump (add on heat) if the former makes sense...

Thanks.

[Victor007]

not sure abt that. for me, i use one pump each for both. if ur skimmer output is strong enough and can be connected to ur FR then why not ? shouldn't be a problem.
