Chemipure elite

[glb]

So running chemipure elite in the refugium and phosban in the reactor should take care of everything

A skimmer would help too, and also make sure you're not overfeeding. That adds phosphates like crazy. Water changes are needed too. All of that combined with rodi water and changing filter media when needed should bring it under control.

I know phosban takes out phosphate but does the chemipure elite take nitrates out

I think it helps. I use purigen to help with nitrates.

Yeah that's what I'm trying to figure out what to do because the chemipure elite takes phosphate out so I really don't need to run phosban in the media reactor I could run purigen in the reactor right

I've got a skimmer I got a reef oxtopus 100hob skimmer on a 55 gallon tank

 

[randy4083]

Can I put purigen in the reactor just like I do with the phosban

 

[randy4083]

Or do I need to do something to the reactor to run purigen in there

Or do I need to do something to the reactor to run purigen in there

Phosguard and purigen do not need reactors just areas of high flow. Though If I was putting one of them in the reactor and leaving the other in a bag, I would put phosguard in the reactor.
