Phosphate remover

[Mmsetta]

Any suggestions on which phosphate remover is best? I am running a 38g with no sump- hob skimmer, live rock. I do have a hot magnum running with bio max in the cartridge as apposed to carbon. No room really for a reactor at this point. Considering throwing a bag of fluval phosphate remover in with the bio max in my magnum. What do you think of that idea and what remover would be best for this?

Phosphate is at around .25 right now. No algae yet, but waiting for it. Want to get it out before the algae arrives!

What do you all think of putting the media in my magnum for maximum flow?

Not sure...think that would work

GFO media needs very low flow in order to wrok properly.

I decided to just hang a sick in a relatively decent flow area of my tank. Got messy trying to put it in the filter. In a day, phosphates came down!
