depending on tank size....GFO for large tanks, the bags of phosban for small tanks!@

tank is 100 gal. I had used Phos Rx but now every time I add it corals go into shock. Dose is correct according to the bottle.

I’m just wondering; you mentioned “phosphate reactor,” do you normally control your phosphate this way or have you been trying something new? I only ask because I used to run gfo, but I switched to frozen food from dry, then cut to half a cube a day and was able to take my gfo offline.

Phosbanis fine, but don't use phosguard, it'll leach aluminum into your aquarium.

Ultra Life Phosphate Control and Remover has worked wonders for me

 

[Dr RBG]

Nothing new, just want to know what people are using in a reactor.

Good ole GFO for me. The Ultralife stuff is way more effective though, I have found. Just in case you want to take a look
